Description
Lady Caroline Lamb's novel Glenarvon tells the story of a doomed love affair set against the backdrop of the violent Irish Revolution. Published anonymously in 1816, the novel was an instant success and its contemporary readers immediately recognised parallels with the author's own tumultuous relationship with Lord Byron. The novel follows the tale of Lady Calantha's passionate but ultimately doomed romance with the dashing revolutionary Lord Glenarvon. Through the eyes of these two characters, Lamb satirically portrays the leading lights of London high society. This edition of Glenarvon includes the unabridged text of the first edition, as well as Lamb's preface from the expurgated second edition. Valancourt Books presents a new introduction and notes by Deborah Lutz, providing further insight into this fascinating novel.
