Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Glenarvon, Volume 1 (of 3)" by Lady Caroline Lamb is a novel published in 1816. Set during the Irish Rebellion of 1798, this scandalous work tells the story of innocent bride Calantha, who is corrupted by the rakish Lord Glenarvon, leading to their mutual destruction. The novel created a sensation by satirizing London's elite Whig society with thinly veiled portraits of real figures—including an unflattering depiction of Lord Byron as the title character. Its publication ruined Lamb's reputation and left her socially outcast.
