[edit]

Isn't the following incorrect? -- "Ianthe was the nickname the poet Lord Byron gave to his intimate friend, Lady Charlotte Harley, to whom Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is dedicated." -- I believe Ianthe at the time was a very young girl, only age 11, and that Byron's "intimate friend" in fact was her mother, also called "Lady Charlotte Harley" -- if so I suggest changing the line to the following, "Ianthe was the nickname the poet Lord Byron gave to the daughter of his intimate friend, Lady Charlotte Harley, dedicating his poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage to the girl."
