Byron in Love: A Short Daring Life by Edna O'Brien

4.0

I've read other books about Lord Byron and about the Romantics, so there wasn't a ton of new stuff in here for me, but I did like how O'Brien focused on Byron's love affairs - not just casual sex, but emotional relationships - and boiled it down to the "juicy bits." It reads almost like a novel and was highly enjoyable. Any man who is "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" is going to be fun to read about. If you like reading about the scandalous love lives of the Romantic poets, you'll love this.
