Selected Poems of Lord Byron

This selection includes all of that poem, and selections from a wide range of Byron's work, including lyrics, the Tales, extracts from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the satirical poems English Bards and Scotch Reviewers and A Vision of Judgment. Paul Wright's detailed introductions place Byron's colorful life and work within their broader social and political contexts, and demonstrate that Byron both fostered and critiqued the notorious 'Byronic myth' of heroic adventure, political action and sexual scandal.
