After Shakespeare the most famous British author in Europe, in
Britain Byron was for years either neglected, or a victim of the
myth of his own personality. Now he is read and studied both for
his complex politics and as a forerunner of many of the ideas and
techniques more usually associated with post-modernism. Bone
tackles the critical problems both of the populism of much of
Byron's early work, and conversely of the sophisticated comedy of
Beppo, Don Juan and The Vision of Judgement. He argues that for all
its contradictoriness Byron's poetic mind develops organically, and
that the scintillating technique of the late works grow out of the
profoundly modern world-view, relativistic and secular, which had
developed through his early years. Byron's writing are seen as a
vital area for post-ideological and new found criticism.
