Annotation:
Delinquent teen Andrew Taylor gets sent to an elite English reformatory famous for housing the youthful exploits of legendary Romantic poet Lord Byron. When Andrew assumes the role of Byron in a school play written by enigmatic mentor Piers Fawkes, more connections emerge between the young American and the famed 19th-century scribe. In THE WHITE DEVIL Justin Evans fills the haunting corridors and wrought-iron gates of Harrow School with startling intrigue, among them a secret spirit and a mysterious contagion.

"Evans heaps an assortment of gothic embellishments onto this coming-of-age narrative, probing the mystery of how Byron's sexual adventures at Harrow might have contributed to his literary maturation."
