The Kindness of Sisters: Annabella Milbanke and the Destruction of the Byrons Clay Scroggins From the editors at HarvardIn The Kindness of Sisters, historian David Crane offers a striking and unconventional portrait of Lord Byron by focusing not on the poet himself, but on the two women whose lives were forever shaped by him. At the center of this compelling account is the intense and lifelong rivalry between Augusta Leigh, Byrons half sister, and Annabella Milbanke, his wife. Both women bore Byron daughters, and both remained bound to his memory long after his death.
