About this deal

We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. In this luscious slice of popular history, Emily Brand knits together all the naughtiest Byrons of the Georgian period into a glittering family tapestry . His family, he would come to learn, had in recent decades become known for almost unfathomable levels of scandal and impropriety, from elopement, murder, and kidnapping to adultery, coercion, and thrilling near-death naval experiences. He is seeking to resist the wife’s claims to fifty per cent of the assets on the basis of special contribution and pre-marital intellectual property rights.

She is also an imaginative problem-solver who genuinely cares about her clients, and strikes a balance between big picture and detail. Seeing how wars and upheavals like these affected the life of one family gives a feeling of immediacy that is not always present in historical accounts, and illustrates both the impact on everyday life and the long-term consequences. I work primarily in oil and acrylic paints and have always loved the way you can use the paint to create various effects.I currently have work in the Artisan Village in Sydenham, where I also used to work as the Early Years Programme art lead, supporting artists to work with the nursery children.

Brand has done an excellent job of placing the sexploits of the Byron family into the context of a broader social and political history . The Fall of the House of Byron follows the fates of Lord Byron’s ancestors over three generations in a drama that begins in rural Nottinghamshire and plays out in the gentlemen’s clubs of Georgian London, amid tempests on far-flung seas, and in the glamour of pre-revolutionary France. Brand, a young historian specialising in eighteenth-century romance, traces the many ways that historical events cut across their lives, complete with observations from family acquaintances Horace Walpole and Samuel Johnson.Emily's experience ranges from drafting pre and post nuptial agreements to litigating on children disputes in the High Court. Emily is known for her creative and discreet approach acting in high-profile cases often involving extensive wealth or complex issues concerning children, including international relocation. Following the fates of the poet's ancestors over three generations, it is a saga that begins in rural Nottinghamshire and plays out in the gentlemen's clubs of Georgian London, amid tempests on far-flung seas, and in the glamour of pre-revolutionary France.

The matter includes complex wealth evaluation and liquidity issues linked to the husband’s position as the sole shareholder of multi-million company. More and more owners of digital assets are starting to consider how they can pass the assets on as part of their succession planning. In the New Law Journal, Family Partner, Harriet Errington highlights the wide-ranging powers of the English court to intervene following foreign divorce proceedings and the power of Pt III applications. Although over the years I have changed subject matter, I have always maintained an interest in the use of colour and light and find it amazing how one person can view a colour so differently from another, and the fact that we have limited colour vision – what are we missing?

Although I loved teaching, I was finding it impossible to do anything else and had only painted 8 paintings in the period that I worked there. The text is not solely a biography of Byron the poet, but his presence is felt throughout, and Brand is always attentive to the ways that, in both his life and his work, Byron was influenced and shaped by his ancestry – his seafaring grandfather for example inspiring elements of Don Juan – and this is reinforced with the inclusion of his poem ‘Newstead Abbey’ at the end of the book.
