"'I have met today the personification of my Corsair,' Byron wrote to Teresa Guiccioli in January 1822. 'He sleeps with the poem under his pillow, and all his past adventures and present manners aim at this personification.' Trelawny was undoubtedly a traveller, an adventurer, a teller of tall tales, and he amused Byron. Though too much of a fantasist to be a wholly reliable witness, he gives us an immensely attractive account of Byron (critical) and Shelley (friendly) in the period 1822-4.

He uttered pagan incantations over the burning body of Shelley on the beach at Viareggio and saved his heart from the fire. Later he accompanied Byron to Greece."--BOOK JACKET.
