{"product_id":"9781784082017","title":"Byron's Women","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\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":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157370978544,"sku":"9781784082017","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784082017_p0.jpg?v=1763727326","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784082017","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
