At 60 Trelawny published his Shelley and Byron. The book caused a storm. Says Authoress Armstrong: "Admirers of Shelley believe every word. Admirers of Byron and Mary Shelley pick and choose." The book was really an epitaph on Romanticism by a last survivor. "We blunder and brag," wrote Trelawny, "die and are forgot, and some other fool takes our place." But the biographer of the romantics makes a more romantic biography than either of his subjects.
