Lord Byrons Jackal by David Crane
There is a mad chap come here whose name is Trelawny He comes on the friend of Shelley, great, glowing, and rich in romance But tell me who is this odd fish? They talk of him here as a camelion who went mad on reading Lord Byrons Corsair. JOSEPH SEVERN‘In Lord Byron’s Jackal, David Crane brings Edward Trelawny – seaman, scoundrel, friend of Byron and Shelley and the original of Stevenson’s Squire Trelawney – startlingly to lifeHere is a wonderful adventure story about a man who invented himself in the image of the Byronic hero and lived to the hilt the final passionate and violent flowering of Romanticism in the cause of Greek independence.’
Stella Tillyard
