A spice of every thing : to Elizabeth Pigot, October 26, 1807, Trinity College, Cambridge -- The air of greece : to Henry Drury, May 3, 1810, Salsette Frigate in the Dardanelles off Abydos, Turkey -- Mad, bad, and dangerous to know : to Lady Melbourne, October 8, 1813, Aston Hall, Rotherham, Yorkshire -- Fare thee well! : To Lady Byron, February 8, 1816, 13 Piccadilly Terrace, London -- Haunted summer : to Augusta Leigh, September 8, 1816, Villa Diodati, Cologny, near Geneva -- The greenest isle of my imagination : to John Murray, August 1, 1819, Ravenna / Venice -- Strictest adultery : to Countess Teresa Guiccioli, December 7, 1819, Venice -- A funeral pile : to Thomas Moore, August 27, 1822, Pisa -- To join the Greeks : to John Cam Hobhouse, April 7, 1823, Casa Saluzzo, Albaro, near Genoa -- Pilgrim of eternity : to John Murray, February 25, 1824, Messolonghi -- After Byron.

Lord Byron was the most celebrated of all the Romantic poets. Troubled, handsome, sexually fluid, disabled, and transgressive, he wrote his way to international fame - and scandal - before finding a kind of redemption in the Greek Revolution. He also left behind the vast trove of thrilling letters (to friends, relatives, lovers, and more) that form the core of this remarkable biography. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Byron's death, and adopting a fresh approach, it explores his life and work through some of his best, most resonant correspondence. Each chapter opens with Byron's own voice - as if we have opened a letter from the poet himself - followed by a vivid account of the emotions and experiences that missive touches. This gripping life traces the meteoric trajectory of a poet whose brilliance shook the world and whose legacy continues to shape art and culture to this day.
