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 does
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. -Marilee
