Book Description: Knopf, New York, 2002. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First American Edition. New book in crisp DJ. ; 1.22 x 9.52 x 6.6 Inches; 304 pages; A stunningly original account, revolutionary in technique, examining the character of the great Romantic poet Lord Byron through the lives and deadly rivalry of the two women he left behind. The heart of David Crane?s account is the lifelong feud between Augusta?Byron?s half sister with whom he had a passionate affair?and Annabella, his society wife, both of whom bore him daughters. Crane reimagines the famous meeting between the two women years after Byron?s death, a chillingly dramatic scene through which he explores the emotional and sexual truths that lay at the center of these tragic relationships. In the encounter between the two women?one in chronic ill health, the other dying?we have the ultimate display of their mutual obsession with the memory and compulsive influence of Byron that makes their story that of the Romantic Age itself.It is a story full of dubious motives, especially Annabella?s ?saving? of Augusta and her child, Medora, and her twisted revenge on them both. And as the curses of incest and abuse play themselves out in the fates of Byron?s daughters, we see their lives assuming the shape of Greek tragedy. In the meeting of the two women and the consequences of their battle, Crane shows us the Romantic Age in its terrible collision with the new world of the Victorians. The Kindness of Sisters establishes Crane as a biographer of formidable gifts. Bookseller Inventory # 22384
