Byron's exuberant masterpiece tells of the adventures of Don
Juan, beginning with his illicit love affair at the age of sixteen
in his native Spain and his subsequent exile to Italy. Following a
dramatic shipwreck, his exploits take him to Greece, where he is
sold as a slave, and to Russia, where he becomes a favorite of the
Empress Catherine who sends him on to England. Written in ottava
rima stanza form, Byron's Don Juan blends high drama with earthy
humor, outrageous satire of his contemporaries, and sharp mockery
of Western societies, with England coming under particular
attack.This authoritative edition now includes a completely new and
substantially longer introduction that discusses the mythology of
the Byronic heroExtensive annotation covers points of interest,
selected variant readings, and the historical allusions Byron wove
into his poem
