Lord Byron
Lord Byron (1788-1824), one of Britain's leading Romantic poets, is a man well-known for his bold and daring words. In this biography, Richard Edgcumbe presents the rebellious writer also as a man of brave deeds. Following Byron's departure from England in 1816, the author accompanies the restless poet on his travels through Southern Europe, where he encounters fellow Romantic authors Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary. Later, he enlists for the Greek army in their war for independence against the Ottomans, during which he dies of a violent fever. Today Lord Byron is not only remembered as a literary genius, but also as a Greek national hero.
Ada, Countess of Lovelace
"The drama of Byron's marriage...culminated in the life and death of his daughter Ada... Her whole life was inexorably thwarted by her obsessive mother, from whom not even her marriage at nineteen to the devoted Lord King, later first Earl of Lovelace, could entirely free her. Ada's scientific gifts manifested themselves early, and some of her happiest experiences came when she was free to work with Charles Babbage, father of the modern computer, who had a high opinion of her talent... Against the background of the social, intellectual and moral attitudes of the early and mid-nineteenth centruy, this revealing account of an extraodrdinary and sinister family relationship and its predestined victim is wholly engrossing"--from jacket flaps.
