Yet when the lady meets the seductive Lord Glenarvon, an unflattering depiction of Lord Byron, her life takes a tumultuous turn and they fall into a passionate and destructive relationship while trying to evade ruin.Set during the Irish rebellion of 1798, Glenarvon was first published in 1816 to great commercial success. The sensation novel caused an intense stir amongst England's high society, with even Queen Victoria requesting a copy.

Combining political unrest, emotional intensity, and vivid descriptions, this volume is not to be missed by fans of gothic literature.
