Riassunto

Lord Byron was quite simply the most famous Briton of his age - from St James's to the Sublime Porte, from Boston to St Petersburg: stellar poet, scandalous libertine, doomed hero who died 'that Greece might live'. Benita Eisler's magnificent life, drawing on the full range of Byron's papers, astonishingly is the first contemporary biography to address fully the man, his times and poetry.
