A surprisingly absorbing account of the fission between Byron and his wife, who finds herself in an uncomfortable love triangle between her beloved husband and his half-sister. The prose feels very authentic, and evokes Austen in its elegant acrobatics which cloak every statement in ornamental trappings. Certainly not a very flattering portrait of Lord Byron. A little too much perfume sprinkled on the pages for my taste. Ok, the writer is from Texas and an Anglophile - but come on...The last part of the book was in a completely different voice and was readable. I'd say pass on the book and just read the wikipedia version of Bryron's life - his stardom, his love of boys, his love with his sister and the spousal abuse in his one year of married life. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieByron Trilogy (2)
In his "Byron trilogy," Benjamin Markovits lovingly reinvents the nineteenth-century novel, true to its perfect prose, penetrating insight, and simmering passions. Inspired by the actual biography of Lord Byron--the greatest literary figure and most notorious sex symbol of his age--Markovits re¬imagines Byron's marriage to the capable, intellectual, and tormented Annabella and the scandal that broke open their lives and riveted the world around them: Byron's incestuous relationship with his impetuous half-sister, Gus. Their very different understandings of love and one's obligations to society lead them all--and the reader--headlong to a devastating conclusion. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
