In his Byron trilogy, Benjamin Markovits lovingly reinvents the
nineteenth-century novel, true to its perfect prose, penetrating
insight, and simmering passions. Inspired by the actual biography
of Lord Byron the greatest literary figure and most notorious sex
symbol of his age Markovits re-imagines Byron s marriage to the
capable, intellectual, and tormented Annabella and the scandal that
broke open their lives and riveted the world around them: Byron s
incestuous relationship with his impetuous half-sister, Gus. Their
very different understandings of love and one s obligations to
society lead them all and the reader headlong to a devastating
conclusion."
