''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. ==''The Rebel Angels''== The story of ''The Rebel Angels'' is set in motion by the death of eccentric art patron and collector Francis Cornish. University professors Clement Hollier, Urquhart McVarish, and Simon Darcourt are the executors of Cornish's complicated will, which includes material that Hollier wants for his scholarly work in Medieval Studies. The deceased's nephew Arthur Cornish, who stands to inherit the fortune, is also a character. All three executors (and Arthur) are intrigued by Maria Theotoky, Hollier's half-Polish, half-Gypsy graduate student, while the plot revolves around John Parlabane: ex-monk, skeptic philosopher, famulus, and general mischief-maker. The intuitive theme in this novel is the Tarot.
