About this product
Product Information
Beginning with his childhood and the sexual abuse that he likely suffered in the care of his nurse, MacCarthy here offers an evenhanded portrait of the legendary Byron. She chronicles a life filled with tempestuous relationships (John Hobhouse, John Murray, and Percy Bysshe Shelley) and affairs (Lady Caroline Lamb, Claire Clairmont, and Countess Teresa Guiccioli) and documents how Byron's appreciation of the East during his early travels through Greece and Turkey influenced both his life and his writing. The dissolution of his abusive marriage amid rumors of sodomy and incest led to Byron's self-imposed exile in Switzerland, Italy, and, finally, Greece, where he died contributing to the fight for Greek independence. Throughout, MacCarthy maintains an objectivity that is remarkable given the powerful emotions her passionate, troubled subject tends to evoke.Product Identifiers

Shocking life of Byron
Fabulous book. Really goes deep in to what made Byron in to Lord Byron. Not for the faint hearted. But if you have an interest and already have an 'inclining' this exceptionally well written and researched book is invaluable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
