"Three great men ruined in one year—a king, a cad and a castaway."—Byron. By HALLIE ERMINIE RIVESAuthor of Hearts Courageous Lord Byron's personal beauty, his brilliancy, his genius, his possession of a title, his love affairs, his death in a noble cause, all make him the most magnetic figure in English literature. In Miss Rives's novel the incidents of his career stand out in absorbing power and enthralling force. The most profoundly sympathetic, vivid and true portrait of Byron ever drawn. Calvin Dill Wilson, author of Byron—Man and Poet Dramatic scenes, thrilling incidents, strenuous events follow one another; pathos, revenge and passion; a strong love; and through all these, under all these, is the poet, the man, George Gordon.
