Glenarvon (Everyman's Library (Paper))
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Published anonymously in 1816, the same year in which Lamb's husband's family attempted to have her declared insane, Glenarvon tells the story of the love affair that shook London society. Few early readers could fail to recognize the author as irresponsible Calantha, William Lamb as her long-suffering husband Lord Avondale, or the legendary Lord Byron himself, "mad, bad and dangerous to know," as the strangely and tragically irresistible Glenarvon.

The morning sun, when it arose, shone bright and brilliant upon the valley of Altamonte--its gay castle, and its lake. But a threatening cloud obscured the sky, as Camioli raised his eyes and turned them mournfully upon the ruined priory of St. Alvin, and the deserted halls of Belfont.-- "Woe to the house of Glenarvon!" he said. "Woe to the house of my patron and benefactor! Desolation and sorrow have fallen upon the mighty. Mourn for the hero who is slain in battle.
