In his life and his work Byron embodied romanticism‚ lending his name to the dark‚ passionate‚ flawed‚ melancholy hero‚ brooding on some unforgivable sin in his past. Byron’s lifestyle and popularity rivaled that of a contemporary rock star‚ leading his bride-to-be to coin the term “Byromania’ to describe the phenomenon of his celebrity. This edition includes the full texts of his two poetic masterpieces‚ Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Don Juan‚ the dramatic poem Manfred‚ and much more.
