About this book

Written by the Italian countess who was Lord Byron's last great love, these recollections offer an intimate, adoring portrait of the poet during his years in Italy—his charm, his moods, his daily life, and his character as seen by the woman who knew him most closely at the end. Guiccioli defends Byron against his detractors and paints a tender picture of the man behind the scandalous legend. A fascinating firsthand source on one of literature's most romantic and controversial figures, the memoir brings the private Byron vividly to life. For lovers of Byron and the Romantic age, it is a revealing and affectionate testimony.
