Byron: A Life in Ten Letters
Andrew Stauffer
Cambridge University Press, £25
THIS is a fine introduction to the great poet, which should stimulate the reader to read or reread the poems. Its author, Professor Andrew Stauffer, is chair of the Department of English at the University of Virginia, and president of the Byron Society of America.
It is not a full biography; for this, one should turn to Leslie Marchand’s Byron: a biography or to Fiona MacCarthy’s more recent Byron: life and legend.
