Description

'I mean to show things really as they are, not as they ought to be'. wrote Byron (1788-1824) in his comic masterpiece 'Don Juan', which follows the adventures of the hero across the Europe and near East which Byron knew so well, touching on the major political, cultural and social concerns of the day. This selection includes all of that poem, and selections from 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage', and the satirical poems 'English Bards and Scotch Reviewers' and 'A Vision of Judgement'. Paul Wright's detailed introductions place Byron's colourful life and work within their broader social and political contexts, and demonstrate that Byron both fostered and critiqued the notorious 'Byronic myth' of heroic adventure, political action and sexual scandal. AUTHOR: "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know", George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788 - 1824), was the most flamboyant and notorious of the major Romantic poets. Lacking the inhibitions of his contemporaries, Byron's poetry is exuberant and spontaneous, causing him to be regarded still as one of the greatest of British poets.
