Crowley takes the legend of the minstrel-knight who lives in the mountain of Venus and then seeks redemption, and turns it into a five-act verse drama of desire, renunciation and spiritual striving. Venus tempts and threatens, while Tannhäuser feels a star burning on his brow that shames her beauty.
An early poetic work of the notorious occultist, of interest to readers of fin-de-siècle verse and of Crowley himself. Download the free EPUB.
