Byron in Love: A Short Daring Life

Byron in Love: A Short Daring Life

â€œHow long itâ€™s taken for these two mad, bad and dangerous writers to get together!â€â€•Alan Cheuse, San Francisco Chronicle
Acclaimed biographer of James Joyce, Edna Oâ€™Brien has written a â€œjauntyâ€ (The New Yorker) biography that suits her fiery and charismatic subject. She follows Byron from the dissipations of Regency London to the wilds of Albania and the Socratic pleasures of Greece and Turkey, culminating in his meteoric rise to fame at the age of twenty-four. With â€œa novelistâ€™s understanding of tempo and characterizationâ€ (Miami Herald), Oâ€™Brien captures the spirit of the man and creates an indelible portrait that explodes the Romantic myth. Byron, as brilliantly rendered by Oâ€™Brien, is the poet as rebel, imaginative and lawless, and defiantly immortal. 8 pages of b/w illustrations
