Summary "Byron: The Last Phase" by Richard Edgcumbe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the latter years of the life of Lord Byron, revealing how his experiences and personal transformations, especially during his time in Italy and Greece, diverged from the notorious public persona he had acquired earlier in his life. The narrative particularly focuses on unexplored elements of Byron's character and relationships, particularly involving his friends and lovers. The opening of this biography sets the scene in Pisa around 1821, where Byron has recently arrived with an entourage that includes not just servants but also various pets. Edgcumbe introduces the reader to a contrasting view of Byron—he is described as being visibly changed from the man he once was, showing a disposition more sociable and compassionate. The text meticulously details Byron's physical appearance through the eyes of those who met him, while also hinting at the tumultuous nature of his personal life, including references to his estranged relationships and the lingering impact of his separation from his wife. The introduction builds intrigue around Byron's psychological state and contributions to the Greek War of Independence, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of his character during this pivotal period.
