Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1815, the clever and courted Annabella Milbanke married the notorious and brilliant Lord Byron. Just one year later, she fled, taking with her their baby daughter, Ada Lovelace. Byron himself escaped into exile and died as a revolutionary hero in 1824. Brought up by a mother who became one of the most progressive reformers of Victorian England, Byron’s little girl was introduced to mathematics as a means of calming her wild spirits. As a child invalid, Ada dreamed of building a steam-driven flying horse. As an exuberant and boldly unconventional young woman, she amplified her explanations of Charles Babbage’s unbuilt calculating engine to predict the dawn of the modern computer age.During her life, Lady Byron was praised as a paragon of virtue; within ten years of her death, she was vilified as a disgrace to her sex. Well over a hundred years later, Annabella Milbanke is still perceived as a prudish wife and cruelly controlling mother. But her hidden devotion to Byron and her tender ambitions for his mercurial, brilliant daughter reveal a deeply complex but unexpectedly sympathetic personality.Drawing on fascinating new material, Seymour reveals the ways in which Byron, long after his death, continued to shape the lives and reputations both of his wife and his daughter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toole did research for more than eight years, burying herself in British archives and libraries to narrate and edit this extraordinary collection of letters written by Ada Lovelace. Not only do they outline Ada's ingenuity for the sciences, but they also enlighten us on all aspects of Lady Lovelace's multidimensional life: her passionate desire to flourish in a "man's world," her battle with drug addiction and chronic sickness, and her efforts as a mother and wife. Lovelace also had a reputation as a wild gambler and a lover. Ada was one of the first to write programs of instructions for Babbage's Analytical Engines, the famous precursors to the modern digital computer. Ada's letters are some of the classic founding documents of cybernetics and computer science, written nearly a century before ENIAC.

Download or read book Ada Countess of Lovelace written by Doris Langley Moore and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1977 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The drama of Byron's marriage...culminated in the life and death of his daughter Ada... Her whole life was inexorably thwarted by her obsessive mother, from whom not even her marriage at nineteen to the devoted Lord King, later first Earl of Lovelace, could entirely free her. Ada's scientific gifts manifested themselves early, and some of her happiest experiences came when she was free to work with Charles Babbage, father of the modern computer, who had a high opinion of her talent... Against the background of the social, intellectual and moral attitudes of the early and mid-nineteenth centruy, this revealing account of an extraodrdinary and sinister family relationship and its predestined victim is wholly engrossing"--from jacket flaps.
