ByronAMS Press, 1968 - 216 pages A volume from the English Men of Letters series. Lord Byron made himself one of the most notorious personalities in the world of letters of his time. Almost everyone who came into contact with Byron left some sort of record or impression of such contact, which the author has compiled into this little volume as a biography of sorts. A wonderfully interesting work on this fabulous poet and author. |
