Lord Byron Accounts Rendered

Hardback. First Edition. Lord Byron Accounts Rendered. Slightly rolled spine. Byron's life was cut short at thirty-six, but he had lived it so fully and among such varied scenes that a wealth of biographical material has come down to posterity - letters, journals, press reports, and the reminiscences, true or false, of commentators who may be counted, literally, in dozens. His friends recklessly destroyed his Memoirs without having read them but, oddly enough, they hoarded papers which must have seemed at the time quite insignificant. His publishers, his several bankers, his executors and the Italian secretary Lega Zambelli, whom he employed for the last five years of his life, all transmitted to their descendants quantities of documents relating to his financial affairs p bills, receipts, memoranda. Gathered together, these form an hitherto unpublished archive which sheds so intimate a light on the poet's habits from adolescence until death, that it is probably without parallel in yhe annals of famous men. Illustrated. 511 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
