Anthony Lane writes on Lord Byron, who died two hundred years ago this April, and about a new biography, “Byron: A Life in Ten Letters,” by Andrew Stauffer, and a new edition of Byron’s poetry.
Byron had come to Greece the previous year, sailing from Italy, where he had been living since 1816. He was a British peer, and his poems have lodged him in the canon of English verse, yet the last eight years of his life were spent in exile.
We find ourselves bumping headlong into the Byron problem—not the question of what he did or might have done with whom, and when, but the remorseless way in which, during his lifetime and ever since, what you might call the higher gossip has trapped him in its claws. In the process, he is at once idolized and belittled.
