Byron's Letters and Journals
Byron's Letters and Journals: The Complete and Unexpurgated Text of All the Letters Available in Manuscript and the Full Printed Version of All Others | George Gordon Byron Baron Byron
1 post | 1 to read
The first volume of Byron's letters and journals covers his early years and includes his first pilgrimage to Greece and to the East, ending with his last letter from Constantinople on July 4, 1810, before his departure for Athens. Here is the direct record of his rapid development from the serious schoolboy to the facetious youth with ambivalent reactions to his perplexed mother, and the maturing man of extraordinary perceptions and sympathies and friendships.

Oh Byron - can't be too sure about the facts of the more scandalous things you're purported to have done - but you definitely were a rebel. (And possibly the first celebrity rebel, the cause of much London gossip) Right down to joining the Greeks to fight for Greek independence, a rebel to the end. #septembowie #rebelrebel
