Byron was a poet who lived life writ large. Smart, funny, good-looking, troubled, sexually comme ci comme ca, he left for Europe in self-imposed exile in 1822 and was never to return. But rather than running away, he stood defiant and tall and found himself a new identity. So when journalist Julietta Jameson came to a crossroads, she looked to the poet she'd admired since childhood and decided on her own travels to Europe, in Byron's footsteps. She knew that she was sending herself on her own passage of exile, one that would allow her to cut ties with the elements of her life that no longer served her. One that would allow her to be true to herself. Me, Myself and Lord Byron takes us on three journeys: through the life of the infamous Lord Byron, through the life of 40-something-year-old Julietta before she commenced her trip - a life that was tainted by a troubled upbringing, a swathe of failed relationships and an unhealthy love of alcohol. And, most sumptuously, we follow Julietta's journey through Italy and Greece to find out what life really is about. In the bestselling tradition of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, but with a poetic twist, Julietta Jameson follows Byron's 'Grand Tour', which celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2011-2012; will appeal lovers of Byron, those wanting to know more about the famous poet, and those simply looking for a new lease on life; and, threaded through with a wonderful travel narrative across Italy.
