George Gordon, sixth Baron Byron

According to her own account, LCL wrote her notorious novel Glenarvon and sent it to press within one month, while articles of separation were being drawn up by her husband following her act of violence...

LCL , on impulse, ran away from the house of her parents-in-law and pawned a ring, intending to flee abroad. But she sent farewell notes, which enabled Byron to track her and deliver her to...

Using as a foundation her affair with Byron (not its actual events but its emotional impact), LCL tells a melodramatic, gothic tale in rhapsodic, overblown style. Critic Paul Douglass thinks the fourteen lyrics included in...

In order to get hold of a portrait of Byron which was held in the office of his publisher John Murray , LCL forged a note with his signature—at a time when forgery was a...

When Glenarvon first appeared, said Lady Caroline, William Lamb admired it so much that it was instrumental in bringing the separated couple back together.Joanna Baillie discerned its author's ability, but added, Her...

After almost a year's separation, Byron and LCL had a meeting brokered by Lady Melbourne and Lady Bessborough with the idea of convincing Caroline that the affair was over.

Paul Douglass points out that Ada Reis is a work of scholarship as well as of imagination; before writing the text, LCL had digested many recent works of travel and exploration, including those by...

William Lamb worried intensely about the probable reception of Ada Reis, particularly the scenes in hell, and he tried to enlist William Gifford of the Quarterly as an ally in pressuring Caroline to tone...

LCL met with Byron 's funeral cortege (by accident, she said) on its way from London to Newstead; she never really recovered from the breakdown brought on by this encounter.

This is a rollicking, fizzing, flighty, purposely excessive poem. It parodies yet also hitches a lift on Byron 's own whimsical style. Impersonating the male poet who lambasts Our maudlin, hey-down-derrified pathetic frees Lamb...

LCL died at Melbourne House in London; she left to Sydney Morgan her portrait of Byron and some of his letters.

The British Library Catalogue lists this work under Byron , not Lamb. She paid for its publication, and sent copies to friends and reviewing journals. Her aims here as she described them were at...

LCL read an advance copy of the early cantos of Byron 's Childe Harold, and wrote a poem expressing her wish to emulate him.

An odd spin-off from LCL 's desire to make herself into a professional writer was her project for a pocket diary or almanac. These ephemeral publications were repositories of useful information of many kinds as...
