In this new book, David Ellis traces Byron' s life from rented lodgings in Aberdeen to the crumbling splendours of Newstead Abbey and then on to his grand tour of the East. Describing his exile from England after a disastrous marriage, and subsequent travels in Italy and Greece, he shows how completely Byron' s experiences coloured his writings, drawing out the tension between the ' serious' works (Childe Harold, The Corsair) and his more comic writings. Although the former brought him early fame and fortune, it is the latter which now seem most worthwhile. Byron is a fresh, concise and clear-eyed account of the flamboyant poet' s life and work.
An Emeritus Pofessor of English at the University of Kent, David Ellis is the author of more than fifteen previous books including Byron in Geneva: That Summer of 1816 (2011) and The Philosopher in Shirt-Sleeves (2015).
