Produktbeschreibung

To the nineteenth-century reader, George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824), was the archetype of the Romantic literary hero, a figure admired and emulated as much for the revolutionary panache with which he lived his life as the brio and allure of his verse. Our century has seen him more clearly as a poet whose intellectual toughness, satiric gifts, and utter inability to be boring have made him one of the great comic spirits in our literature.

Autorenporträt

GEORGE GORDON, LORD BYRON (1788-1824) was born in London; at the age of ten, upon his father's death, he became the sixth Baron Byron of Rochdale. Forced to leave England in the wake of scandal, he spent years living in Italy and elsewhere in Europe; he died at Missolonghi in Greece after contracting a fever while fighting with the Greeks against the Ottoman Empire.
