Byron
First published in 1880, this biography explores the life of Lord Byron (1788–1824), one of Britain's greatest poets. Setting Byron's work in an historical context, Nichol shows how he was idolised as well as morally condemned, and discusses the reflection of Byron's flamboyant persona in his famous literary characters.
