I do have sympathy with the general tenet of the book; whilst Byron was an unquestionable womaniser, his overall treatment of the human being was almost enlightened , for the period in which he lived. Anne Fleming, however, is not satisfied with this level of respect for his Lordship's personality: her argument seems to extend to such a pique, that were Byron to be compared to Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, or indeed, any other luminary, they would be found severely wanting in the process. This may be a ploy because, if Lord Byron is to be re-instated amongst the proud line of British greats, his reputation certainly needs all the help that it can get. It say a lot for the lack of poetry in the English bosom, that his oeuvre does not, of itself, excuse his defects after so many years so, "Go Anne!". Let us place Byron on a pedestal alongside Shakespeare, Milton and our other great men of letters. ( )
