Exactly. DD knows a lot about Byron, and also about the sort of weird triangle between Mary, her husband, and the aforementioned "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know" king of epic romantic British poetry.

This is a True/False question from hell.

So maybe phrasing it as "yes, true-- because they were Frenemies." I mean, if she were truly writing it "for" him even in an inspirational sense, then I'm pretty sure that we're now venturing waist-deep (at least) into a kind of dark erotic playground (after all, Percy Shelley was also not exactly tangentially involved in that summer in Geneva) that has very little place in conventional high school English instruction. Though, come to think of it, maybe my DD was thinking of it correctly in placing that in a sort of Black-quadrant, Homestuck kind of framework. whistle I digress.



And Byron was a lot of things, but Plagiarist doesn't seem to top the list.

LOL.

You win a major award, Val--

I just can't figure out which emoticon is most appropriate for a discussion which includes ANYTHING about Byron.
