Lord Byron’s personal beauty, his brilliancy, his genius, his possession of a title, his love affairs, his death in a noble cause, all make him the most magnetic figure in English literature. In Miss Rives’s novel the incidents of his career stand out in absorbing power and enthralling force.

The most profoundly sympathetic, vivid and true portrait of Byron ever drawn.
