This authoritative edition was originally published in the
acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of
Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Byron's
poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by important
letters, journals, and conversations - to give the essence of his
work and thinking. Byron is regarded today as the ultimate
Romantic, whose name has entered the language to describe a man of
brooding passion. Although his private life shocked his
contemporaries his poetry was immensely popular and influential,
especially in Europe. This comprehensive edition includes the
complete texts of his two poetic masterpieces Childe Harold's
Pilgrimage and Don Juan, as well as the dramatic poems Manfred and
Cain. There are many other shorter poems and part of the satire
English Bards and Scotch Reviewers. In addition there is a
selection from Byron's inimitable letters, extracts from his
journals and conversations, as well as more formal writings. ABOUT
