Poet described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know” (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
lord byron
'poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'described by lady caroline lamb as mad bad and dangerous to know' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'by' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lord byron that I've seen is " English poet".)
