Biographers argue whether she had a pregnancy by Byron and why Byron did not mention it again; this letter confirms that she did have a pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage. Byron's nickname for Lady Oxford's daughter Lady Charlotte Harley, 'Ianthe', is sometimes treated as an interpretive key to Byron's poems to Charlotte, but does not appear in early drafts, and is only added to 'To Ianthe' many months after Lady Oxford and Charlotte left England. This letter shows that the epithet 'Ianthe' was connected to the portrait of Charlotte before she left England, placing the name closer to the composition of the poems and supporting its interpretive significance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Byron Journal is published by Liverpool University Press, and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without Liverpool University Press's express written copyright permission.
