Lord Byron at Harrow School
The first book-length scholarly examination of the four critically formative years of Byron's public school experience, 1801-1805 How did Byron become "Byron"? In Lord Byron at Harrow School: Speaking Out, Talking Back, Acting Up, Bowing Out, Paul Elledge locates one origin of the poet's personae in the dramatic recitations young Byron performed at Harrow School. This is the first book-length scholarly examination of the four critically formative years of Byron's public school experience, 1801 to 1805, when Harrow enjoyed high subscription and fame under Dr. Joseph Drury, headmaster. Finding its genesis in the boy's intrepid appearance on three Speech Day programs, the book argues that Byron...
Reading Byron
Perhaps no great poet, in any language, has suffered more than Byron from being merely read about rather than actually read. As Bernard Beatty remarks in his introduction to this important collection of essays, the popular conception of ‘Byron’ still often approximates to ‘Rupert Everett with a limp’. Reading Byron is the product and summation of nearly sixty years devoted to studying and teaching his poetry. It argues that, far from being ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’, Byron is serious, ethically orientated and rewarding to read. The book is in three parts: Poems – Life – Politics. Five new essays have been written especially for the first and largest section, which provi...
How I Became Me
How I Became Me is a book I wrote that is a story of my life. I have lived in eight states and over ten cites. From city to city I would bring something along with me were ever I went. That something was me. I have been addicted to sex and alcohol and cocaine and everything else I found enjoyable in my life. Those things also brought me so much depression and hurt and pain were I thought I didnt want to live anymore. Infact I have tried to kill myself three times and once in a coma for three days. I have gone up and down like most addicts do but the downs are so much worst then the ups. To all addicts who read this, let me show you what not to do. To all those who have love for addicts, read this to show what direction they are headed in. Follow my words and my lead cause most of us are the same and do the same dumb things. We dont need love or some one who think they can show us the right way. We need to find a way our selves to want a reason to survive. To want to find something deep in ourselves to want to be in recovery. To all that will listen this book is my true life

Farrago
Farrago, from the Latin farragin, is a word that means a confused mixture. This memoir, sharing the story of the relationship between author Diana B. Roberts and her mother, Markie, is just thata farrago, containing neither positive nor negative judgment. Markie Byron Roberts was eighty-five years old when she passed awaya long life for anyone, but particularly for a woman whod been institutionalized for mental illness six times, beginning at age sixteen, and who had been unwillingly subjected to thirty-six shock therapy treatments. Through mental and physical illness, on her death bed and throughout her life, she maintained a personal sense of style reminiscent of her long bygone life. In t...
