Never trust anyone you have dirt on to be loyal to you after you are gone

The book is probably naughty since he wrote his ENTIRE life

I can’t imagine they did it to save Byron’s reputation and if they did, they did a terrible job. I’d believe any crude or terrible story about him.

I played Percy Shelley in a film program as a kid about the making of Frankenstein. I'm not a big literary fan or anything but I always feel a nostalgic connection when I see stories about Lord Byron and Percy as both those characters interacted a lot in the film and I'll never forget the kid who played Lord Byron or Mary Shelley. When I found out that Mary Shelly shares my birthday it made it a lot more personal to me. I always find learning new things about them to be fascinating as in a very weird way I feel like I've experienced a part of them even though it was a shitty film program that used cardboard backgrounds held up by masking tape and child actors.

It's kinda sad that a lot of publishers have done the opposite as well, though. An author directly says they dont want a work published after their death, and then publishers do it anyway.

Hearing this and listening to "The four seasons"? Yes

I’m guessing he said he was gay/bisexual tbh, that’s the only thing I can think of that would cause a bigger loss for the publisher than the lost opportunity, given the time period.
