"The main task for any biographer intrepid enough to take on the subject of George Gordon, the sixth Lord Byron, is to give equal time to both versions of the man: Byron as he really was, and Byron ...as a symbol--what he meant to the world, what he stood for and to some extent still stands for today. These two Byrons are so very different that it is sometimes hard to make them coalesce into a single figure." (Hudson Review) This profile examines Byron's "paradoxical character," drawing from such "definitive" biographies as Phyllis Grosskurth's Byron: The Flawed Angel (1997), Benita Eisler's Byron: Child of Passion, Fool of Fame (1999), and Fiona MacCarthy's Byron: Life and Legend (2002).
