Product Description

Review
"James Knox has made good use of the Byron family archive, and his account covers all aspects of Byron's life." -- The Sunday Telegraph Knox writes with "sympathy, [and] dry wit." -- The Sunday Telegraph "Knox has a keen appreciation of the architectural zeitgeist as any writer on Byron must." -- The New Statesman 20031027 "Diligently researched and neatly written." -- The Independent on Sunday 20031027 "A biography that is at once intimate, entertaining, and detached." -- The Financial Times 20031025 "It is difficult to write a biography of such a precious person without becoming mannered oneself, but Knox managed without becoming the period cliche that is his subject." -- The Times 20040605 "James Knox's impeccable biography of a real sparkler." -- Country Life 20031023 "[Robert Byron] comes across in this lively biography as a brilliantly eclectic, original and prickly genius." -- Sunday Telegraph 20040613 "I do love him [Robert Byron] when he comes into his distant own as a prematurely eccentric traveller ... Knox is especially good on RB's ferocious dedication to Georgian architecture." -- Vera Rule, Guardian 20040612 'An entertaining biography of a very entertaining man' -- Manchester Evening News 20040904

5.0 out of 5 stars Still with me..., 15 May 2006
I read this book when it first came out and it's still with me. I am reminded of his eccentricity, his love of the sublime, his unbelievable charm. Something of a camp T E Lawrence, an effete adventurer and stylist. I cried at the end even though I knew his fate. An amazing man and this book surely does him justice, as well as bringing to us the small details of an era now lost to us. Truly one of the great but unknown englishmen.
