Byronic News

18 June 2009    Anne Fleming's Byron the Maker has been released in the UK with the two parts (Byron in England and Byron in Exile) combined into one.  I'm in the midst of reading it now, and very much enjoying it.  I don't know if it will be released in the US.  Amazon in the UK has it; Amazon in the US doesRichard Westall's 1813 portrait of Byron not.

The Times has a very long interview with Rupert Everett,
tangentially
about his new two-part documentary about Byron.  By which I mean, the article has more information about Everett than Byron.  'The Scandalous Adventures of Lord Byron' plays on Channel 4 on July 27th at 9 pm.

I really have to start working on this site again.  I know.  Time to clean it up and add some stuff and all of that - and I can't believe it's been posted for 12 years. 

When reading Fleming's biography, I always have a collection of Lord B's work beside me and - remember that couplet from Canto IV of 'Childe Harold' -
But there is that within me which shall tire
Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire:....

Indeed.  Two hundred years later and Byron's work is as vital and beautiful as ever.
