      About This Book

      This is the first full biography of Elisabeth Medora Leigh - Libby - the daughter from Byron's passionate love affair with his half-sister Augusta. The scandal of Libby's birth, which reverberated through 19th Century society, involved not only the wayward Byron and Augusta, whose lovers, it was said, included both her brother and Henry Trevanion, her son-in-law, but among others Lady Byron, the poet's imperious wife, from whom he was legally separated. Yet above all it was Libby whose life was dogged by her origins, and which reads like the plot of a Victorian novel.
