{"product_id":"byrons-women","title":"Alexander Larman: Byron's Women [2016] hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne was the mother who bore him; three were women who adored him; one was the sister he slept with; one was his abused and sodomized wife; one was his legitimate daughter; one was the fruit of his incest; another was his friend Shelley's wife, who avoided his bed and invented science fiction instead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine women; one poet named George Gordon, Lord Byron - mad, bad and very very dangerous to know. The most flamboyant of the Romantics, he wrote literary bestsellers, he was a satirist of genius, he embodied the Romantic love of liberty (the Greeks revere him as a national hero), he was the prototype of the modern celebrity - and he treated women (and these women in particular) abominably. In BYRON'S WOMEN, Alex Larman tells their extraordinary, moving and often shocking stories. In so doing, he creates a scurrilous 'anti-biography' of one of England's greatest poets, whose life he views - to deeply unflattering effect - through the prism of the nine damaged woman's lives. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Larman, Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47805879222611,"sku":"XV81784082024","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/larman-alexander-byron-s-women-xv81784082024-54903009608019.jpg?v=1727642836","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/byrons-women","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
