Download or read book The Flesh is Frail written by George Gordon Byron Baron Byron and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1973 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byron was a superb letter-writer: almost all his letters, whatever the subject or whoever the recipient, are enlivened by his wit, his irony, his honesty, and the sharpness of his observation of people. They provide a vivid self-portrait of the man who, of all his contemporaries, seems to express attitudes and feelings most in tune with the twentieth century. In addition, they offer a mirror of his own time. This first collected edition of all Byron's known letters supersedes Prothero's incomplete edition at the turn of the century. It includes a considerable number of hitherto unpublished letters and the complete text of many that were bowdlerized by former editors for a variety of reasons. Prothero's edition included 1,198 letters. This edition has more than 3,000, over 80 percent of them transcribed entirely from the original manuscripts.
Download or read book Letter from John C Hobhouse Foremark to John Murray 1829 September 20 written by John Cam Hobhouse Baron Broughton and published by . This book was released on 1829 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussing, at length and in detail, his objection to Thomas Moore's proposed publication on Byron; saying "I am extremely sorry Mr. Kinnaird should have done what you mention but not for the reasons to which you allude - for I cannot see what possible claim the undertaker of the forthcoming Life of lord Byron, either author or publisher can have upon those whom you call his 'real friends' - You know very well the true origins and object of that work, and you would be the last man in the world to pretend that the thing was done for the sake of Lord Byron's memory, and ought, therefore to be countenanced and supported by all his friends - The extracts of the letters you have just sent to me prove nothing more than I knew before from the perusal of that strange bond which made over not only Lord Byron's correspondence, but that of his friends, to you and Mr. Moore, or any biographer you or your heirs might select, as a sort of supplement to the memoir which you, yourself, so much to your credit, assisted to destroy - Lord Byron's authority when he was alive did not weigh with me so much as to make me a party to what I disapproved, nor can it, now that he is gone, induce me to cooperate publickly in an undertaking which is only a continuation and a part of that project which I will venture to say, is in that a parallel in the history of literary friendships. But you seem to forget that Lord Byron's positive assurance to me - that his implied resolution to Mr. Kinnaird - the cancelling of the bond - the substitution of a second bond in which the non-publication of the memoir was provided for, and above all, the destruction of the memoir for the sake, as you know, of Lord Byron's character, have altogether deprived of value whatever he may have written or said under the impression of carrying into effect the publication and adding to the materials of those Memoirs - When you call to mind these facts and adopt the conclusion inevitable from them, you will not, I am sure, expect that the extracts which you have sent to me should alter the determination which I have formed not to be a public contributor to the Life of Lord Byron; nor will you infer from that conduct an indifference to the fame of my friend - I know that Mr. Moore has used that language and I should not be surprised if he insinuated as much in his book - If he does he must take the consequences in which I should be very sorry to find you involved. There is no harm in any author trying to turn one honest penny by his intimacy with an illustrious friend; but there is a great deal of harm, and somewhat of a ludicrous audacity in being angry with those who possessed of the same advantages do not chuse either to make the same use of them, or to empty their own letter boxes for the sake of filling the pockets of another man - In this instance forbearance and silence are almost more than could be reckoned upon; but to expect assistance and to be offended with neutrality, is really a little too unusual not to say presumptuous. If the Book answers the intended object without injuring the character of the dead, or wounding the feelings of the living, so much the better - if it raises the personal reputation of Lord Byron, better still - But in neither case will the nature of the original transaction, nor the object of the undertaking, be altered in the slightest degree - No No, my dear Mr. Murray, Mr. Moore is a very clever fellow - no one doubts that - and his work, in spite of the keepsake, will turn out a very saleable article, but you must not advertize it as an eternal monument of disinterested friendship and the only real basis of Lord Byron's fame - After all, I know not why I should give you the trouble of reading and myself or writing this homily; considering that you and I have talked over the subject fifty times before and have never, that I can recollect, differed on any one point connected with it. I have written to all the members of the sub committee communicating Thorvaldsen's offer and when I have their answers will call upon you in London."

Download or read book Byron and John Murray written by Mary O'Connell and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byron and John Murray: A Poet and His Publisher is the first comprehensive account of the relationship between Byron and the man who published his poetry for over ten years. It is commonly seen as a paradox of Byron’s literary career that the liberal poet was published by a conservative publishing house. It is less of a paradox when, as this book illustrates, we see John Murray as a competitive, innovative publisher who understood how to deal with his most famous author. The book begins by charting the early years of Murray’s success prior to the publication of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, and describes Byron’s early engagement with the literary marketplace. The book describes in detail how Byron became one of Murray’s authors, before documenting the success of their commercial association and the eventual and protracted disintegration of their relationship. Byron wrote more letters to John Murray than anyone else and their correspondence represents a fascinating dialogue on the nature of Byron’s poetry, and particularly the nature of his fame. It is the central argument of this book that Byron’s ambivalent attitude towards professional writing and popular literature can be illuminated through an understanding of his relationship with John Murray.
Download or read book Romanticism and the Letter written by Madeleine Callaghan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romanticism and the Letter is a collection of essays that explore various aspects of letter writing in the Romantic period of British Literature. Although the correspondence of the Romantics constitutes a major literary achievement in its own right, it has received relatively little critical attention. Essays focus on the letters of major poets, including Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley and Keats; novelists and prose writers, including Jane Austen, Leigh Hunt and Charles Lamb; and lesser-known writers such as Melesina Trench and Mary Leadbeater. Moving from theories of letter writing, through the period’s diverse epistolary culture, to essays on individual writers, the collection opens new perspectives for students and scholars of the Romantic period.

Download or read book Lady Caroline Lamb written by P. Douglass and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Caroline Lamb , among Lord Byron's many lovers, stands out - vilified, portrayed as a self-destructive nymphomaniac - her true story has never been told. Now, Paul Douglass provides the first unbiased treatment of a woman whose passions and independence were incompatible with the age in which she lived. Taking into account a traumatic childhood, Douglass explores Lamb's so-called 'erotomania' and tendency towards drug abuse and madness - problems she and Byron had in common. In this portrait, she emerges as a person who sacrificed much for the welfare of a sick child, and became an artist in her own right. Douglass illuminates her novels and poetry, her literary friendships, and the lifelong support of her husband and her publisher, John Murray.

Download or read book Byron Hunt and the Politics of Literary Engagement written by Michael Steier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second decade of the nineteenth century, the British press began a campaign of critical abuse against Leigh Hunt, caricaturing the radical journalist as an upstart "Cockney" author whose literary talents were as disreputable as his politics. Lord Byron, on the other hand, was revered as a peer and a poetical genius who, the conservative press argued, would never befriend and collaborate with a writer like Hunt. Yet Byron did just that. Byron, Hunt, and the Politics of Literary Engagement is the first full-length study of the friendship and literary relationship of two of the most important second-generation Romantic authors. Challenging long-held critical attitudes, this study shows that Byron and Hunt engaged in a creative and meaningful dialogue at each major stage in their careers, from their earliest published volumes of juvenile poetry and verse satire to their most celebrated contributions to Romantic literature: The Story of Rimini and Don Juan. Drawing upon newly recovered letters and unpublished manuscript material, this book illuminates the surprisingly durable and artistically significant friendship of Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt.
