Yep, Sidney Sheldon got all the dosh in the 80's...the golden age of the airport novel...Poets were lucky to get 40p a canto (still are, ofc)...Mind you, Byron had private means, not short of bob or two. The fact he uses '!' a lot is the main takeaway from my 15 min or so skim of CH. Might work that up into a thesis one of these days 💅 In 21st cent, Byron would be Tiktok influencer no doubt. Lock up your cousins etc ;P 😂
