Byron’s Life and His Biographers
With his ironic distance and skepticism, Byron often appears to be our contemporary. But is he, or have we remade him in our image? Byron’s life poses this quintessential problem for biography, as the term ‘Byron’ has become the site of artistic and intellectual speculations, and of repeated moral and ethical struggles, as well as continued debate over what really happened. Byron himself believed in the truth of historical record, but he also rev…
Lady Caroline Lamb: A Biography
Medea and Her Dragons: 1813–1814
Beginning with Childe Harold, Caroline had studied and imitated Byron’s poetry, and she had since come to know also his handwriting and prose style. She put these to use in early January of 1813. Since November, she had been pressuring Byron to provide her a picture. Despite the fact that Byron had loaned her three portraits of himself, including one by Holmes, she preferred a small one George Sanders had done in 1812. She had asked Lord Clare to…
Playing Byron: 1815–1816
B yron and Annabella were married on 2 January 1815. Two weeks later, he responded to one of Lady Caroline’s letters. Receiving no reply, he told Lady Melbourne, “all is right.” 2 But two weeks after that, he heard a disturbing rumor that William and Caroline might be about to separate. Lady Melbourne told him it wasn’t true, but that Caroline continued manic: “I hope some day to see you undergo a Dinner, when she wishes to shew off.” 3 When Lady…
Byron: 1812
Y oung Lord Byron had returned in 1811 from an extended tour abroad. He celebrated his twenty-fourth birthday on 22 January 1812 and attended the sessions of the House of Lords at the end of the month, feeling this might be the moment to deliver his maiden speech. Two thousand troops had been sent in late December to repress the violence of the frame-breaking Luddites, who were protesting against the textile manufacturers’ having replaced the nar…
Byron's life and his biographers
Introduction After the mid-nineteenth century, it became a stereotype that asylum inmates imagined themselves as the omnipotent Napoleon - but also the brilliant Byron. Extreme as it seems, this desire for vicarious experience, this tendency to translate one's life into the idealization of another, is common - so common that it led Albert Camus to define biography itself as 'nostalgia for other people's lives'. Camus notes that our fascination wi…
The Cambridge Companion to Byron
Byron's life and work have fascinated readers around the world for two hundred years, but it is the complex interaction between his art and his politics, beliefs and sexuality that has attracted so many modern critics and students. In three sections devoted to the historical, textual and literary contexts of Byron's life and times, these specially commissioned essays by a range of eminent Byron scholars provide a compelling picture of the diversi…
Eliot's Hulme—or Pound's
Deleuze, cinema, Bergson
In the Cinema books, Deleuze integrated his ‘counter‐history’ of philosophy and arrived at a philosophy of art. For him, the artist is a ‘creator of truth’ because truth is not to be achieved, formed, or reproduced; it has to be created’ (Cinema 2 1985: 146). Stressing the pre‐eminent importance of the ‘creation of the New’, Deleuze calls on us to reread and rethink with him the works of Bergson, whom he views as indispensable to the ‘pure semiot…
