 Lord
Byron : The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics) by
Jerome J. McGann (Editor),
Lord Byron
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.
