Byron and Hobby-O is about the relationship between Byron and his
supposed best friend, John Cam Hobhouse. It is the first
full-length biographical study of Hobhouse in over fifty years, and
is much franker and more intimate than anything preceding. It shows
how, while the two men were initially collaborators and rivals,
Byron rapidly outstretched Hobhouse in poetry, while Hobhouse, in
the longer term, outstretched Byron in politics. It shows how long
acquaintance with the elusive and chameleonic Byron turned Hobhouse
into a canter and humbug of the kind Byron hated, and concludes
with an account of the first English invasion of Afghanistan, which
Hobhouse initiated. The book is based in part on long study of
Hobhouse's diary, much of which Peter Cochran has edited.
