LATE LORD BYRON, THE(ISBN=9781935554486) 英文原版 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

“The best biography of Lord Byron ever written,” according to

Poet Laureate W. S. Merwin, is now back in print after

decades.

Of the hundreds of books on Byron and his work, not one has been

devoted to the immediate aftermath of his life; and yet it is these

first twenty posthumous years that yield the most unexpected and

exciting discoveries about the character of the poet and the

behavior of those who once surrounded him—wife, sister, friends,

enemies.

With the burning of his memoirs almost as soon as news of his death

reach England in May 1924, there began the sequence of impassioned

controversies that have followed one another like the links in a

chain ever since. What sort of man was the begetter of these

dramas? Unflagging in energy and acumen, Doris Lang- ley Moore

sifts the various witnesses, their motives and credentials, and not

only reveals how much questionable evidence has been accepted but

develops a corrected picture that appeals and persuades.

Drawing upon a very large amount of unpublished material, from the

Lovelace Papers, Murray manu*s, and Hobhouse archives, she

reaches the conclusion that, as to his chroniclers, a great man has

too often fallen among thieves. The story she tells needs no

special knowledge of Byron. It is written for everyone who enjoys

literary detective work and human drama.
