Summary:

To discern his initial experiments with identity formation, to watch his auditions, his inaugural performances of "Byron"--in the provincial run, so to speak, before his London premiere--to track the emergence of these constructs from a confluence of wondrous adolescent energies is to understand anew why and how enduringly certain events and relationships wrote themselves into the text that Byron famously became."--from the Prologue.
