 | | Taking a novel approach, Crane sets the scene for the final meeting between Byron's wife, Annabella, and his beloved half-sister, Augusta, in 1851, when both were elderly and ill. Using letters and other accounts, Crane presents the scene as dialogue as the women reveal their weaknesses and betrayals. |
 | | Byron, desperately in love with Augusta but under societal pressure to marry, wed Annabella in 1815, and made her so miserable in their year of married life that it would forever change her. |
 | | Annabella, the poet's society wife, also bore him a daughter. |
