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. тАЬAs a myth,тАЭ wrote Bertrand Russell, тАЬhis importance, especially on the continent, was enormous.тАЭ 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.
