The Lady Caroline Lamb (13 November 1785–26 January 1828) was a novelist and British aristocrat, the only daughter of the 3rd Earl of Bessborough.
There is some evidence (in an 1810 letter from Lady Caroline to Lady Melbourne) that Lamb was sexually promiscuous, and that he demanded the type of intemperate sexual shenanigans from his wife that would not be expected of a lady.
Contrary to legend, Lady Caroline was not flballed at Almack's in 1812 for her affair with Byron.

As Caroline remarked in her own diary, the day she met him, he was at the centre of an admiring circle of women, who were ‘throwing up their heads at him' and she remarked that he was ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know'(Jenkins, 95).
For Caroline, the end of the relationship with Byron meant that either she had to face her family's disgrace or be restored to the monotony of her married life.
Lamb's novel expresses the need to remember her passion for him, to re-enact his rejection and to reconstruct the external and internal conditions that had originated and terminated the relationship, filtered through an ardent imagination.

 Lamb in his Bosom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Caroline Miller was fascinated by the other Old South--not the romantic inhabitants of Gone With the Wind, but rather the poor people of the south Georgia backwoods, who never owned a slave or planned to fight a war.
At the same time, Lamb in His Bosom transcends regional history as Miller's quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman's life lived close to nature--the nature outside her and the nature within.
CAROLINE MILLER was born in Waycross, Georgia, in 1904, and lived in Baxley, Georgia until 1934.

Caroline, an exuberantly free spirit, threw aside all discretion and delighted in shocking her aristocratic friends.

Lady Caroline emerges afresh from these pages as a woman funnier, cleverer, braver, more gifted and more tragic than we previously had cause to believe, and while her frantic affair with Byron remains the central moment of her life we can no longer say that it was the defining one.
The theory that Lamb was only motivated to write after her affair with Byron was damaging to her literary reputation as her works were viewed as hysterical obsession.
