    Byron exists in two incompatible dimensions: as fully-documented history, and as romantic myth. Often the myth predominates, describing him as a passionate lover, a staunch friend, a great romantic poet, a champion of the working man, a loyal author to his publisher, and a fighter for democracy who sacrificed his life for the Freedom of Greece. This book attempts to prove that the verifiable truth often proves him to be the opposite. Using letters from Byronâs family, friends, and associates which have never been transcribed, collected and sequenced before, Peter Cochran argues that the poet was an unscrupulous sponger on his relatives and friends, that he harboured a horror of the working man, had no time for democracy, despised his publisher, and that his motives in going to Greece were deeply mixed. Cochran further argues that almost all editions of Byronâs writing do his style very poor service, constituting, not contributions to knowledge of him, but additions to the obfuscating myth.
