Love Alone is Lord
By F. Frankfort Moore
Author of "The Jessamy Bride," etc.
This latest story by the author of The Jessamy Bride has for its theme the only really ideal love affair in the romantic life of Lord Byron. The story opens during the poet's boyhood and tells of his early devotion to his cousin, Mary Chaworth. Mr. Moore has followed history very closely, and his descriptions of London society when Byron was the rage are as accurate as they are dramatic. Lady Caroline Lamb figures prominently in the story, but the heroine continues to be Byron's early love, Mary Chaworth. His attachment for his cousin was the strongest and most enduring of his life, and it failed of realization only by the narrowest of chances.
