Few characters in fiction have led as diverse and full a life as the subject of this moving biography. Byron: Child of Passion, Fool of Fame is a masterful account of the man who captivated his era and branded those to follow with his presence and imagination. Using Lord Byron’s life as a context to understanding his verse, Benita Eisler explores his turbulent formative years, exotic Eastern ramblings, series of relationships, popular fame (or notoriety) and finally, death in battle fighting for Greek Independence, to recreate the magnitude of Byron’s genius and depth of his many passions. | Byron by Benita Eisler, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
