Whilst he works on it he encourages his girlfriend, Jocasta, to research Byron?s works and she falls under the spell of the words she uncovers. The shadow of the world famous writer becomes Quentin?s adversary although he himself becomes a master of the ?Byronic? style.* This is a FINE copy of the reprint, 1st.thus,with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
