"George Gordon Byron, sixth Lord Byron, died in 1824, but he is today regarded as the leading English romantic poet, with a reputation which is truly global. Born in 1788, he inherited Newstead Abbey in 1798, a landed estate which had been badly run by his predecessor in title, the fifth Lord Byron.
This book offers a reappraisal of Byron's tenure of landed estates, an entirely new explanation of events surrounding the sale of his ancestral home at Newstead Abbey, and new thoughts on his financial circumstances during his years in Italy and Greece. Byron is examined as a landed aristocrat, and his financial and business affairs are unravelled in this context."--BOOK JACKET.
