In this installment of this marvelous serial story, we read about Byron's separation from his wife. Besides his pleading letters to Annabella asking her to reconsider, there are level-headed letters to Murray and Hobhouse and Hunt and Rogers--all written during the tempestuous time before his final departure from England. The accounts written during the ensuing summer, of Waterloo and the Rhine and Switzerland, reveal new depths of Byron's maturing mind. But the very best letters here are the ones from Italy: freed from the inhibitions of English society, Byron's spirit seems to expand and his letters reflect the joie de vivre that, despite his melancholy, was an inherent part of his character
