Byron: Mad, bad, and fascinating to know...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I enjoyed this book tremendously, although I can't say I was always in agreement with Grosskurth regarding her subject. She doesn't seem to like Byron much and sometimes her antipathy shines through--a direct contrast to her supposed detached approach to her subject matter. The book is well-written, although not necessarily easy to read. Because Grosskurth's is essentially a scholarly approach, her style tends to be a bit pretentious. She often uses unecessarily long words and run-on sentances to communicate simple ideas. Still, the book was a fascinating read and I'd recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in Byron--but read Marchand's collection of Byron's letters as well. You'll get a more complete picture of Byron the man and not just a psychological profile.
