Description:
Literature's most famous bad boy gets an in-depth psychological going-over as superior to the average pop-psych bio as Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage are to the poetry of Byron's imitators. Phyllis Grosskurth, author of several books about key figures in psychoanalysis, trains a modern perspective on the quintessential 19th-century romantic without seeming anachronistic. Drawing on the diaries and letters of Byron's intimates, she immerses the reader in the spirit of his age while offering her own shrewd judgments--the most intriguing, that Byron (1788-1824) was manic-depressive.
