An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and the OAPEN library. Byron and the Forms
of Thought is a major new study of Byron as a poet and thinker.
While informed by recent work on Byron's philosophical contexts,
the book questions attempts to describe Byron as a philosopher of a
particular kind. It approaches Byron, rather, as a writer
fascinated by the different ways of thinking philosophy and poetry
are taken to represent. After an Introduction that explores Byron's
reception as a thinker, the book moves to a new reading of Byron's
scepticism, arguing for a close proximity, in Byron's thought,
between epistemology and poetics. This is explored through readings
of Byron's efforts both as a philosophical poet and writer of
critical prose. The conclusions reached form the basis of an
extended reading of Don Juan as a critical narrative that
investigates connections between visionary and political
consciousness. What emerges is a deeply thoughtful poet intrigued
and exercised by the possibilities of literary form.
