Synopsis:

This volume 2 of Byron's complete letters and journals covers his second year in Greece, his revealing accounts to Hobhouse and others of his life in Athens, his visit to Veli Pasha, and his return via Malta to England. It covers the period of the loss of his mother and several close frineds, including John Edleston, the Cambridge choirboy, of his first acquaintance with Moore and Rogers, his maiden speech in the House of Lords, the publication of Childe Harold and the resulting fame that brought him into the Whig Society. It marks the beginning of his liaisons with Lady Caroline Lamb and Lady Oxford, and who forwarded his first (rejected) proposal to Annabella Milbanke.

About the Author: The late Leslie A. Marchand was Professor of English, Emeritus, Rutgers University. For his lifelong work on Byron, he was given the National Book Critics Circle's Ivan Sandrof Award.
