| Summary: | This text extends our understanding of Lord Byron's poetry - as opposed to his life and legend - by offering fifty very short discussions of his best poems, be they lyrics, four cantos of poetic travelogue in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, narrative poems set in the Middle East and elsewhere, dramas (neoclassical, Faustian, or Biblical), satires, love songs, or the seventeen cantos of his comic epic, Don Juan. The coverage is wide, from the very beginning of Byron's career in Nottinghamshire to its very end in Greece, and the approach is accessible, giving readers something to think about rather than telling them what to think, without 'explaining poems away'. |
