Lady Byron Vindicated

Lady Byron Vindicated is a history of the Byron controversy from its beginning in 1816 to the present time written by Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe, who was an American abolitionist and author.

In 1869, the Atlantic published Stowe's article, The True Story Of Lady Byron's Life, a brief exposé of the famous poet Lord Byron's sordid private life which had led to a separation from his wife and drove him out of England, as told to her by Lady Byron herself before her death. Stowe wrote this article long after Lady Byron's death, when Lady Byron‘s impeccable reputation was being smeared across Europe by Byron's influential literary friends, and her trustees were doing nothing to defend her.
