The only legitimate child of Lord Byron, the most brilliant, revered, and scandalous of the Romantic poets, Ada was destined for fame long before her birth. Estranged from Ada’s father, who was infamously “mad, bad, and dangerous to know,” Ada’s mathematician mother is determined to save her only child from her perilous Byron heritage. Banishing fairy tales and make-believe from the nursery, Ada’s mother provides her daughter with a rigorous education grounded in mathematics and science. Any troubling spark of imagination—or worse yet, passion or poetry—is promptly extinguished. Or so her mother believes.
Why I'm waiting: Outside of being Lord Byron's oldest child I don't know that much about Ada Lovelace. Because of her father there was no way she had an easy introduction into society. I'm excited to know about her.
I've seen this one around it does look good :D
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things from people who've gotten an early look at it :)
