Inhaltsangabe

Described as 'Mad, bad and dangerous to know' by one of his lovers, Lady Caroline Lamb, Lord Byron was the quintessential Romantic. Flamboyant, charismatic and brilliant, he remains almost as notorious for his life - as a political revolutionary, sexual adventurer and traveller - as he does for his literary work. Yet he produced some of the most daring and exuberant poetry of the Romantic age, from 'To Caroline' and 'To Woman' to the satirical English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, his exotic Eastern tales and the colourful narrative of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, the work that made him famous overnight and gave birth to the idea of the brooding Byronic hero.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

George Gordon Byron (1788 - 1824) was one of the greatest Romantic poets. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage made him famous overnight and this increased with a series of popular 'Eastern Tales'. His marriage to Annabella Milbanke lasted only a year and he shocked society by reportedly having an affair with his half-sister. In 1816 he left England forever, living in Italy and supporting both the Italian and Greek revolutionary movements.
Susan J. Wolfson is Professor of English at Princeton University. She has published widely on Romanticism.
Peter J. Manning is currently Professor and Chair of English at Stony Brook University, and a widely recognised authority on Byron.
