About this listen

Join us on a captivating journey through the tumultuous story of the enigmatic Lord Byron, brought to life by the legendary Robert Powell in “The Letters of Lord Byron”.

Lord Byron, born in 1788, led a life steeped in scandal, poetry, and passion. From his boisterous early years as the son of "Mad Jack" Byron to his rebellious days at Harrow and Cambridge, Byron's story is as riveting as his verses.

In 1809, Byron set off on a European odyssey, only to return to England and enter into a short-lived marriage with Annabella Milbanke. The marriage's collapse drove him into exile, where he found solace in the arms of Claire Clairmont and the Countess Teresa Gamba Guiccioli.

Discover the romantic entanglements, poetic genius, and revolutionary spirit of Lord Byron in this enthralling production, where history and drama converge to create an unforgettable experience.

Don't miss "The Letters of Lord Byron" an extraordinary journey through the life of a literary legend.

Also available as part of the CLASSIC LETTERS & JOURNALS BOX SET, a sixteen hour, seven-volume edition featuring the letters and journals of Lord Nelson, Charlotte Brontë, Scott of the Antarctic, Queen Victoria, Lord Byron, Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth. Performed by Charles Dance, Imogen Stubbs, Edward Fox, Virginia McKenna, Robert Powell, Fiona Shaw and Jenny Agutter.

Critic Reviews

“If you want to see into man’s soul, start with this self-portrait. It’s magnificent.” (The Guardian)

"These are a splendid introduction, leading us from his university days, setting up a bear to sit for a fellowship at Cambridge, to his very last few weeks of life in Greece, bled to death by incompetent doctors. And between drinking with jockeys, romping with whores and writing, writing, writing.” (Good Book Guide)
