"The liveliest and most revealing letters from the accliamed 12-volume edition - together in one volume." Marchand's 1973  twelve-volume edition of Byron's Letters and Journals, "the complete and unexpurgated text of all the letters available in manuscript and the full printed version of all others," created quite a stir as people were able to enjoy these windows into Byron's fascinating personality. Byron [1788-1824] continues to interest us. Marchand had pity on the readers who couldn't devote enough hours to read them all, and scoured through the massive contents of his original project to bring together these most vivid and revealing pieces presented in one very nicely bound attractive book. He thanks his publisher John Murray, whose ancestor of the same name published Byron and Jane Austen. Includes an Introduction and Index, an Anthology of Memorable Passages, and 3 Appendices: Biographical Summary of Byron, Biographical Sketches of Correspondents, and List of Letters and Journals in this Volume.
