Book excerpt: Glenarvon Lady Caroline Lamb Glenarvon by Lady Caroline Lamb Glenarvon is Lady Caroline Lamb's first novel, published in 1816. Its rakish title character, Lord Ruthven, is an unflattering depiction of her ex-lover, Lord Byron. Drawing from "Glenarvon," John Polidori used a vampire named Lord Ruthven as a characterization of Lord Byron in the first vampire short story published in 1819. Glenarvon corrupts the innocent young bride Calantha (Caroline herself) leading to their mutual ruin and death. The picture of her husband, The Hon.

Tell me, Lady Avondale, do you believe ail that ithe Duke of Myrtlegrove, and your more warlike cousin have said to you ?--What means the blush on your indignant cheek? The young duke is more enamoured of the lustre of his diamond ring and broach, than of the brightest eyes that ever gazed on him; and though the words glory and renown drop from the mouth of Buchanan, love, I think, has lost his time in aiming arrows at his heart. Has he one>--I think not?" But who has one in London?" "You have not assuredly," said the Count: "and, if you knew the censures that are every where passed upon you, I think, for Lord Avoudale's sake, you would regret it." "I do; but indeed--" The entrance of Buchanan put a stop to this conversation. "Are you ready?" he cried. "Ready! I hate waited for you three hours: it is five, and you promised to come before two," "You would excuse me, I am sure, if .you knew how excessively ill I have been. I am but this moment out of bed. That accursed .hazard kept me up till ten this morning. Once, I sat two days and nights at it: but it's no matter." "You take no care of yourself.--I wish for my sake you would." The manner in which Calantha said this, was most particularly flattering and kind: it was, indeed, ever so; but the return *lie met-with (like the lady who loved the swine). "Honey," quoth she, "thou -shalt in silver salvers, dine: " "Humph," quoth he) was most uncourteous. "Truly i care mot if I am knocked on the head tomorrow," replied Buchanan. "There is nothing worth living for in life: every thing annoys me: I am sick of all society, Love, ...

Book Synopsis Glenarvon by : Lady Caroline Lamb
Download or read book Glenarvon written by Lady Caroline Lamb. This book was released on 2007-08-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I read 'Glenarvon, ' too, by Caro. Lamb....God damn!" - Lord Byron In 1812, Lady Caroline Lamb, wife of a prominent politician and future Prime Minister, began a tempestuous affair with Lord Byron, a liaison that shocked Lamb's contemporaries. Finally, when he became tired of Lamb, Byron cruelly broke off the relationship, and in "Glenarvon" (1816) Lamb sought revenge. Set against the backdrop of the violent Irish Revolution of 1798, Glenarvon tells the story of the doomed love of the married Lady Calantha for the dashing revolutionary Lord Glenarvon. Though published anonymously, contemporary readers immediately recognised in Calantha and Glenarvon the counterparts of Lamb and Byron and in many of the minor characters satiric portraits of some of the leading lights of London high society. The novel became an instant success, going through numerous editions and resulting in Lamb's being blackballed from fashionable society. The Valancourt Books edition includes the unabridged text of the first edition as well as Lamb's preface from the expurgated second edition. This edition also features a new introduction and notes by Deborah Lutz and an index to characters in "Glenarvon" and their real-life counterparts.
