Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE LATE LORD BYRON

"A massive triumph of literary scholarship . . . with awesome industry
and remorseless detail. . . . She has checked dates, exposed lies and exaggerations, analyzed characters and speculated about motives."
--The New York Times "A volume filled with drama and wit, perceptive and penetrating character analysis, as well as acute literary detection."
--Robert R. Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
