In 1815, Anabella Milbanke married the notorious and brilliant English poet Lord Byron. One year later, she fled, taking their baby daughter, Ada Lovelace. Byron himself went into exile and died as a revolutionary hero in 1824.
In “In Byron’s Wake: The Turbulent Lives of Lord Byron’s Wife and Daughter”, award-winning author and biographer traces the lives of Annabelle Milbanke and Ada Lovelace. Lady Byron was praised as a paragon of virtue; within ten years of her death, she was vilified as a disgrace to her sex. Over a hundred years later, Annabella Milbanke is still perceived as a prudish wife and cruelly controlling mother. But her hidden devotion to Byron and her tender ambitions for his temperamental and exceptionally clever daughter reveal a deeply complex but unexpectedly sympathetic personality.
Drawing on fascinating new material, the author reveals how Byron, long after his death, continued to shape his wife and daughter’s lives and reputations.
Published in 2018, this hardcover book, with dust jacket, is in near-new condition except for a small mark on the frontispiece.
