by Frederic Raphael
' I awoke,' he said, ' and found myself famous.' In 36 turbulent years Byron achieved unprecedented success for his poetry and wit, and notoriety for his scandalous loves. His life was packed with incident, and his romantic death resounded across Europe.
FREDERIC RAPHAEL evokes images and dramatic scenes as he traces the poet's stormy life and loves through many of the places in Britain, Switzerland, Italy and Greece associated with Lord Byron.
