Books Inc. in Mountain View presents an evening of fascinating conversation with literature professors Julia Markus and Paul Douglass discussing their respective biographies Lady Byron and Her Daughters and Lady Caroline Lamb.
About Lady Bryon and Her Daughters: A poet and talented mathematician, Lady Byron supported the education of her precocious daughter, Ada Lovelace, now recognized and lauded as a pioneer of computer science, and saved from death her adoptive daughter Medora Leigh, the child of Lord Byron’s incest with his sister.
About Lady Caroline Lamb: Lady Caroline Lamb , among Lord Byron's many lovers, stands out - vilified, portrayed as a self-destructive nymphomaniac - her true story has never been told. Now, Paul Douglass provides the first unbiased treatment of a woman whose passions and independence were incompatible with the age in which she lived.
