Lord Byron's personal beauty, his brilliancy, his genius, his possessionof a title, his love affairs, his death in a noble cause, all make himthe most magnetic figure in English literature. In Miss Rives's novelthe incidents of his career stand out in absorbing power and enthrallingforce.
The most profoundly sympathetic, vivid and true portrait of Byron everdrawn.
Calvin Dill Wilson, author of _Byron--Man and Poet_
Dramatic scenes, thrilling incidents, strenuous events follow oneanother; pathos, revenge and passion; a strong love; and through allthese, under all these, is the poet, the man, George Gordon.
