A propos de cet article

9 x 6.5cm. Thick cream card with 'Lady Noel Byron' engraved on one side. Anne, known as Annabella, 1792-1860, first met Byron through her cousin William Lamb's wife Caroline, with whom the poet had a high profile affair in 1812. Though the two had drastically different personalities and moral priorities, Byron was attracted to Annabella's voracious intellect and modesty - he initially proposed marriage through Annabella's aunt, Lady Melbourne, in October 1812. She declined, but the two became correspondents, and when he proposed again in September 1814, she accepted; they were married by special licence on January 2, 1815. The relationship quickly soured as Byron's debts grew. He began drinking heavily, having affairs, and the rumours of an incestuous relationship with his half-sister Augusta Leigh continued to plague them. Their daughter Ada was born on December 10th of that year, and by January 16, 1816, the Byrons' relationship had deteriorated so much that Annabella took Ada back to her parents' house, Kirkby Mallory in Leicestershire. Byron would never see his wife and daughter again; their separation was legalised in March 1816, and Byron went to live in Europe where he would spend the rest of his life. Lady Byron is often described as obsessing over Byron until her death, and she certainly did everything in her power to ensure that Ada took after her mother rather than her father, forcing her to study mathematics and science and not art and literature. Annabella spent her later life supporting and campaigning for various social causes including prison reform and the abolition of slavery.
