{"product_id":"byrons-letters-and-journals-george-gordon-byron-9780674089549","title":"Byron's Letters and Journals","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Gordon 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 It includes a considerable number of hitherto unpublished letters and the complete text of many that were bowdlerized by former editors for a variety of reasons.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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe final volume of this splendid edition contains a comprehensive index to the contents of the preceding volumes--the several thousand letters, the journals, the notes and biographical sketches. The index is prefaced by a generous selection of Byron's aphorisms, \u003ci\u003ebons mots\u003c\/i\u003e, and memorable statements, culled by Leslie Marchand from the letters and journals and arranged under subject headings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Gordon Byron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674089545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674089549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.57h x 5.78w x 0.73d","brand":"George Gordon Byron","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448882082047,"sku":"9780674089549","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c87d33ff-0214-454d-b54b-574fbca48669.jpg?v=1777260995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/byrons-letters-and-journals-george-gordon-byron-9780674089549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
