Description
An army officer took Crowley in earnest as a poet when few would, in 1907. The Star in the West, by John Fuller, is a critical essay on Crowley's works. Fuller would later win fame as a theorist of war and the tank.
He reads the young Crowley's verse and prose as the work of a major, strange gift. The essay sorts the books, weighs their worth, and defends their fire against a cold press. It is the first serious study of Crowley as a man of letters. The book catches him before the legend swallowed the writer.
