Description
Leslie A. Marchand's edition of Byron's Letters and Journals, published between 1973 and 1981, included every letter then available, all of them unbowdlerized and many published for the first time.;Since 1981, further letters have come to light and they are now published here. Many are newly discovered, some have been partially published but are here made complete from the manuscripts, a few have been published in inaccessible periodicals. All of them have biographical significance and are of interest. A lengthy letter to E.N. Long contains a frank statement of Byron's views on war and the earliest evidence of his intention to travel to Greece. Another, published complete for the first time, is the now famous letter to Galignard in which Byron disclaims authorship of the Vampyre.;Others relate to the infatuation of Lady Falkland, who imagined that Byron had written the Thyrza poems to her. There is a rare early letter to Lady Caroline Lamb. Finally there is an appendix of others' letters which touch Byron's affairs closely.
