Author of the most influential long poem of its era (Childe
Harold's Pilgrimage) and the funniest long poem in European
literature (Don Juan), Lord Byron was also the literary superstar
of Romanticism, whose effect on nineteenth-century writers,
artists, musicians and politicians - but also everyday readers -
was second to none. His poems seduced and scandalized readers, and
his life and legend were correspondingly magnetic, given added
force by his early death in the Greek War of Independence. This
introduction compresses his extraordinary life to manageable
proportions and gives readers a firm set of contexts in the
politics, warfare, and Romantic ideology of Byron's era. It offers
a guide to the main themes in his wide-ranging oeuvre, from the
early poems that made him famous (and infamous) overnight, to his
narrative tales, dramas and the comic epic left incomplete at his
death.
