About this listen

 Step into the scandalous world of the Romantic era as Harriet Beecher Stowe reveals the untold story of Lady Byron, wronged wife of the infamous poet, Lord Byron. Published in 1869, Stowes bold exposé, initially slammed by the press, uncovers the sordid details of Lord Byrons life that led to his exile from England. This narrative, compiled from personal correspondence and cutting poetry, is an impassioned defense of Lady Byrons reputation against the smear campaigns of her late husbands influential allies. Stowes fiery critique of the Victorian eras treatment of women is as poignant today as it was then. This full-length exposé is a compelling exploration of one womans fight for justice amid societal constraints. (Summary by Michele Fry, Soloist)
