About the book
"This is the first biography of Byron to originate from John Murray, Byron's own publisher, since Leslie Marchand's 3-volume biography, published in 1957. It makes a breakthrough in reinterpreting Byron's life and poetry for a new generation, drawing on John Murray's world-famous archive."--BOOK JACKET.
