Acerca de este libro electrónico
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a long narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. The poem was published between 1812 and 1818. Dedicated to "Ianthe", it describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man, who is disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry and looks for distraction in foreign lands. In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood.
Acerca del autor
George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron, was a towering figure of the Romantic era, whose life and works continue to captivate modern readers. Born on January 22, 1788, in London, Byron's aristocratic lineage and tumultuous personal life made him both a celebrated and controversial figure. His early years were marked by a clubfoot, which did not hinder his athleticism or his passionate pursuits.Byron's literary career skyrocketed with his vivid and emotive poetry, characterized by its exploration of individualism, nature, and the sublime. His works often reflected his own tempestuous experiences and unorthodox views, challenging societal norms and pushing the boundaries of literary expression. Byron's scandalous affairs, including rumored incestuous relationships and numerous liaisons with both men and women, fueled the public's fascination with him, making him a quintessential "bad boy" of literature.A fervent advocate for political freedom, Byron's revolutionary spirit led him to actively support the Greek War of Independence against Ottoman rule. His commitment to the cause was so profound that he spent his personal fortune and ultimately his life in Greece, where he died of fever on April 19, 1824, at the age of 36.Byron's influence extended far beyond his poetry; he inspired a generation of writers, including the likes of Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats, and his legacy can be seen in the works of later literary and artistic movements. His life, marked by defiance, passion, and a relentless quest for freedom, continues to resonate, making Lord Byron a timeless icon of Romanticism and a symbol of the rebellious spirit.
