About the book

"Glenarvon, Volume 2 (of 3)" by Lady Caroline Lamb is a novel published in 1816. Set during the Irish Rebellion of 1798, this scandalous work tells the story of innocent young bride Calantha, who falls under the spell of the rakish Lord Glenarvon, leading toward their mutual destruction. The novel satirizes Whig society while offering thinly veiled portraits of real people, including an unflattering depiction of Lord Byron. Its publication created a sensation that captivated readers but devastated Lamb's reputation in fashionable society.
