The Whole Disgraceful Truth: Selected Letters of Lady Caroline Lamb

Byron's lover, Lady Caroline Lamb, has often been portrayed as 'monster'. Gathered here for the first time are letters to and from some of her most famous correspondents, among them The Prince of Wales and Walter Scott. Her letters glitter with quips, puns, and searing self-knowledge as she reveals 'the whole disgraceful truth' of her life.
