The Cornish Trilogy is three related novels by Canadian novelist, playwright, critic, journalist, and professor Robertson Davies. The trilogy consists of The Rebel Angels (1981), What's Bred in the Bone (1985), and The Lyre of Orpheus (1988). The series explores the life and influence of Francis Cornish. In each novel, Davies looks at how underlying medieval patterns surface in modern lives. It takes place in the same universe as the Deptford Trilogy, with several characters from that trilogy either appearing or being mentioned. The Cornish Trilogy was abridged, dramatised and broadcast in 3 one-hour parts by the BBC in January 2001. The reduction in content to fit the time resulted in omission of numerous elements critical to the full complexity of the narrative as written. Source: Wikipedia (en)
