Alongside Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and Oscar Wilde, Lord
Byron possesses a star-quality unlike other classic British
authors. His life as poet, philanderer, homosexual, and freedom
fighter is legendary, and this new selection from his powerful
letters and journals tells the story from the inside, in Byron's
own racy and passionate style. Though Byron is chiefly known as a
poet, his letters and journals are one of the glories of English
prose literature, and one of the greatest British acts of
autobiography, alongside Pepys' Diary and Boswell's Journal. This
new selection, taken from the authoritative and unbowdlerized
edition prepared by Leslie Marchand in the 1970s, not only provides
the cream of his informal prose; it amounts to a biography in
Byron's own words. No other English writer lived so remarkable an
existence, from rented rooms in Aberdeen to a Nottinghamshire
peerage, from European fame to English infamy, and notorious
Italian exile to a glorious death in the Greek War of
Independence.The letters and journals are selected, introduced, and
annotated to provide a running narrative of the life and career of
his remarkable man in his own unmistakable words.
