"The Legandary Scandal of Byron's Romance"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Lady Caroline Lamb supposedly sat in a room and dictated this book to a gentleman who put it to paper, and he was horrified that such a story could come from feminine lips! It was an attempt to revenge herself on Byron after he was bored with their affair, and many figures in popular society recognized themselves satirized in its pages. This is certainly the best edition of GLENARVON I have come across, and the introduction is keen and informative as well. I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in Romantic, Gothic, or early 19th Century fiction.
