But to what extent is this character a portrayal of the author himself? Byron was known for his extremely unconventional, eccentric character and his extravagant and flamboyant lifestyle: he had numerous scandalous love affairs, including a suspiciously close relationship with his half-sister Augusta Leigh. Lady Caroline Lamb, one of his lovers, famously described him as 'mad, bad and dangerous to know'. This two-volume work, compiled by his friend Thomas Moore, to whom Byron had given his manuscript memoirs (which he later burnt), was published in 1830. Volume 1 gives an account of Byron's early life, including his time as a star of the literary scene in London, and ends with his departure from the country in 1816.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Notices of the life of Lord Byron, 1788–1816; Letters I–CCXLI.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769042043223,"sku":"9781108047128","price":46.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781108047128.jpg?v=1758719439","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/letters-and-journals-of-lord-byron-with-notices-of-his-life-volume-1-cambridge-library-collection-literary-studies-9781108047128","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
