One was the mother who bore him; three were women who adored him;
one was the sister he slept with; one was his abused and sodomized
wife; one was his legitimate daughter; one was the fruit of his
incest; another was his friend Shelley's wife, who avoided his bed
and invented science fiction instead. Nine women; one poet named
George Gordon, Lord Byron - mad, bad and very very dangerous to
know. The most flamboyant of the Romantics, he wrote literary
bestsellers, he was a satirist of genius, he embodied the Romantic
love of liberty (the Greeks revere him as a national hero), he was
the prototype of the modern celebrity - and he treated women (and
these women in particular) abominably. In BYRON AND HIS WOMAN, Alex
Larman tells their extraordinary, moving and often shocking
stories. In so doing, he creates a scurrilous 'anti-biography' of
one of England's greatest poets, whose life is views - to deeply
unflattering effect - through the prism of the nine damaged woman's
lives.
