Byron & the Spoiler's Art by Paul West

Available for the first time in the U.S. in this expanded edition, this is a decisive book on Byron from the author of Lord Byron's Doctor and other acclaimed novels. "Few works of literary criticism have been as entertainingly written. Mr. West's prose crackles with wit as well as ideas.... no-one at all interested in Byron can afford to neglect it."--Western Mail (U.K.)
