Swimming with Lord Byron - E-book - ePub

Lord Byron is the greatest writer you've never read. The biographer of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis tells the story of Britain's most glamorous and most tortured writer. He was rich and handsome. He was a swimmer and a poet. He loved both sexes. In his work he made a queer love life both thrilling and universal. He was born with a deformed right foot. An emotional hurt dating back to abuse when he was a boy also affected the man he became.
But his hand moved on the page and his body in the water with ease and assurance. His is the story of transcending his disability and his childhood trauma in his verse. Byron's biography may shine a spotlight on your story too. The disappointments he felt in love, as well as the personal transformation he achieved in his work will strike a chord with anyone who is a reader, a writer, or a lover.
