About This Item
Farrar, Srauss & Giroux, New York, 1968., 1968. Hardcover. Good/Good. Octavo, hardcover, good in good, lightly worn blue dj. First edition. this is Prokosch's lively, humorous and poignant version of Byron's last three notebooks. Every detail is exquisitely rendered, including an elaborately developed provenance and skilfully woven story of what the poet might very well have written. Lord Byron spent the last months of his life in the village of Missolonghi in Greece, where he eventually died, at age 36, in 1824. The three notebooks that are here presented as The Missolonghi Manuscript are the vivid memoirs of a dying intellectually curious man who has decided to review his whole life as honestly as possible for his own edification. 338 deckled pages.
