Description
Whilst many biographies have attempted to enlighten readers on the iconic life of Lord Byron, this is the only biography devoted to the aftermath of his life. It is these first 20 posthumous years that have unearthed the most unexpected and exciting discoveries about the character and poet and the behaviour of his notorious family - wife, sister, friends and enemies. Drawing on a large archive of unpublished material from the Lovelace Papers, the Murray manuscripts and the Hobhouse archive, Langley presents a unique portrait of this iconic life.
Reviews
PRAISE FOR THE LATE LORD BYRON
A massive triumph of literary scholarship . . . with awesome industry
and remorseless detail. . . . She has checked dates, exposed lies and exaggerations, analyzed characters and speculated about motives.
The New York Times
A volume filled with drama and wit, perceptive and penetrating character analysis, as well as acute literary detection.
Robert R. Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
