Description

" "In January 1815, Lord Byron married Annabella Milkbanke. He was London's most famous poet and its most desirably notorious lover, and every woman wanted to be his wife. She was a young lady with handsome prospects and good connections, but painfully shy and retiring. Astonishingly, after only a couple of meetings, the poet proposed. Even more astonishingly, she turned him down. After the unlikely correspondence that ensued, she accepted his second offer of marriage without another meeting.Only one year into their marriage, and just a month after the birth of their first child Annabella left Byron and went hpme to her parent, never to see him again" 269p. bibliography index
