Jane Stabler offers the first full-scale examination of Byron's
poetic form in relation to historical debates of his time.
Responding to recent studies of publishing and audiences in the
Romantic period, Stabler argues that Byron's poetics developed in
response to contemporary cultural history and his reception by the
English reading public. Drawing on extensive new archive research
into Byron's correspondence and reading, Stabler traces the
complexity of the intertextual dialogues that run through his work.
For example, Stabler analyses Don Juan alongside Galignani's
Messenger - Byron's principal source of news about British politics
while in Italy - and refers to hitherto unpublished letters between
Byron's publishers and his friends to reveal a powerful impulse
among his contemporaries to direct his controversial poetic style
to their own conflicting political ends. This fascinating study
will be of interest to Byronists and, more broadly, to scholars of
Romanticism in general.
