“The best biography of Lord Byron ever written,” according to Poet Laureate W. S. Merwin, is now back in print after decades. Of the hundreds of books on Byron and his work, not one has been devoted to the immediate aftermath of his life; and yet it is these first twenty posthumous years that yield the most unexpected and exciting discoveries about the character of the poet and the behavior of those who once surrounded him—wife, sister, friends, enemies. With the burning of his memoirs almost as soon as news of his death reach England in May 1924, there began the sequence of impassioned controversies that have followed one another like the links in a chain ever since. What sort of man was the begetter of these dramas? Unflagging in energy and acumen, Doris Lang- ley Moore sifts the various witnesses, their motives and credentials, and not only reveals how much questionable evidence has been accepted but develops a corrected picture that appeals and persuades. Drawing upon a very large amount of unpublished material, from the Lovelace Papers, Murray manuscripts, and Hobhouse archives, she reaches the conclusion that, as to his chroniclers, a great man has too often fallen among thieves. The story she tells needs no special knowledge of Byron. It is written for everyone who enjoys literary detective work and human drama.

Excerpt from The Late Lord Byron: Posthumous Dramas But the very magnitude of Byron's renown was a cause of extra ordinary distortions of the evidence. To inflate an acquaintanceship into an intimacy, to suggest that three or four meetings were thirty or forty meetings, to tint the picture with the colours the reading public would find congenial - how could these temptations be resisted when there was such a market for 'inside stories' that it seemed the supply could never equal the demand? And there was not only the money; there was the satisfaction of linking oneself in any attitude one chose to assume with a man who, by. The mere weight of his fame, could not fail to go down to posterity. The concern of memoirists to portray themselves in relation to Byron rather than to portray Byron causes a large amount of literature to yield a very small proportion of reliable information. Simply by using verifiable dates as a check upon the expansiveness of the narrators (a surprisingly rare practice to which I have resorted often in these pages), we drastically reduce the significance of some events and prove others to be apocryphal. The brilliant Stendhal, the obtuse John Galt, the socially exuberant Lady Blessington, the socially negligible Medwin, the pious Dallas, the defiant Trelawny - all were alike in this, that their recollections of Byron were contrived to heighten their own stature, and therefore require sifting.

My present task is one of considerable difficulty; but I have long had a notion that some time or another it would fall to my lot to perform it. I approach it, therefore, without apprehension, entirely in consequence of having determined, to my own satisfaction, the manner in which the biography of so singular and so richly endowed a character as that of the late Lord Byron should be treated, but still with no small degree of diffidence; for there is a wide difference between determining a rule for one's self, and producing, according to that rule, a work which shall please the public.
