Lord Byron: Selected Poems
āŠ āŠāŠĄāŠŋāŠŊāŦāŠŽāŦāŠ āŠĩāŠŋāŠķāŦ
The epitome of the Romantic literary hero, Lord Byron was as well-known in his time for the revolutionary panache with which he lived as for his extremely popular verse. âAs a myth,â wrote Bertrand Russell, âhis importance, especially on the continent, was enormous.â His many tempestuous relationships were the subject of scandal which only added to his celebrity. His name has even entered into our language to describe a man of deep passion and defiance.
Satirical, shocking, romantic, and dramatic, Byronâs poetry is replete with witticisms, surprise rhymes, and editorial comment.
Poems in this collection include: 1. From âDon Juanâ 2. From âEnglish Bards and Scotch Reviewersâ 3. âThe Destruction of Sennacheribâ 4. âShe Walks in Beautyâ 5. âRemember Thee! Remember Thee!â 6. âTo Thomas Mooreâ 7. âSo, Weâll Go No More a Rovingâ 8. âEpigramsâ 9. âChurchillâs Graveâ 10. âEpistle to Augustaâ 11. âLines on Hearing That Lady Byron Was Illâ 12. âBeppoâ 13. âThe Vision of Judgmentâ 14. âThe Spell Is Broke, the Charm Is Flown!â
