This book interprets a number of Lord Byron’s major literary works—Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1813, 1816, 1818), the Eastern Tales (1812–16), 'Prometheus' (1816), 'The Prisoner of Chillon' (1816), Manfred (1817), Cain (1821), Heaven and Earth (1823), and Don Juan (1819–24)—from a perspective informed by the generative anthropology of Eric Gans and the mimetic theory of René Girard. It reads these works for their developing awareness of the market world in which the poet lived—the changing nexus of socially mediated desires—but also for their modeling of attitudes and rhetorics useful for life in such a world, with particular attention to Byronic irony and its purposes. It examines the poetry’s relationship to various claims to sacral immunity in the era, and reassesses the meaning and power of Byron’s politics and celebrity. Minimize

"Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" is Lord Byron at his best-stru ... Read more

"Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" is Lord Byron at his best-strumming all the right lyrical cords of the hearts of men and women. Byron was a man of his time--faults and all--but who used the literary art to rise above the common lot of aristocrats. Some beautiful excerpts would include "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods/There is a rapture on the lonely shore" or "To such as see thee not my words were weak; To those who gaze on thee, what language could they speak?" There is no better way to feel Byron's craft and the development of his soul and style than by reading "Child Harold's Pilgrimage," a lengthy narrative poem first published in the early 1800's and dedicated to "Ianthe", the term of endearment he used for Charlotte Harley (the artist Francis Bacon's great-great-grandmother). "Child Harold's Pilgrimage" describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, 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. Minimize

Don Juan is a long, digressive satiric poem by Lord Byron, based on the legend of Don Juan, which Byron reverses, portraying Juan not as a womaniser but someone easily seduced by women. It is a variation on the epic form. Unlike the more tortured early romantic works by Byron, exemplified by Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Don Juan has a more humorous, satirical bent. Modern critics generally consider it to be Byron's masterpiece. Byron completed 16 cantos, leaving an unfinished 17th canto before his death in 1824. Byron claimed that he had no ideas in his mind as to what would happen in subsequent cantos as he wrote his work. Don Juan has won great praise from the great. Sir Walter Scott maintained that its creator "has embraced every topic of human life." Percy Shelley said, "This poem carries with it at once the stamp of originality and defiance of imitation. Nothing has ever been written like it in English..." Minimize

Roy Erskine (Charles Kaley) is aiming for songwriting stardom. And if he has to use and abuse a lineup of Broadway babies to do it, that's fine with Roy. This smoky-hearted tale of a heel on the rise shows the dark side of the moon-June-spoon plots at the center of most early musicals. The cast includes Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards (later the voice of Jiminy Cricket), whose wide-eyed mug serves as counterpoint to the film's worldly attitude. The songs include the Arthur Freed-Nacio Herb Brown evergreen Should I? More highlights: two production numbers filmed in color and some nifty overhead dance shots created a year before Busby Berkeley wowed moviegoers with the same technique in Whoopee. Minimize

In the words of one of his many lovers, Lord Byron was "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Amidst rumors of an incestuous relationship with his sister and a series of high-profile affairs, Byron penned pieces, including the narrative poems "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" and "Don Juan," before dying at the age of 36. Here, acclaimed historical biographer Sarah Gristwood expertly marries the man and his myth, using extracts from his verse to explore and elucidate his friendship with the Shelleys, the influence of his infamous clubfoot, and his ultimately fatal decision to join the Greek fight for independence from Turkey.

It is the summer of 1812. Wellington is fighting Napoleon's forces in Spain, Lord Byron is dazzling the Beau Monde with the first Canto of his 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage' - and Viscount Percy Ainsford Foster Ashe is discovered dead in a shabby boarding house in Brighton. It is assumed that the young man - whose gambling debts were considerable - has committed suicide. But then a suspicious silver locket is discovered by Lady Charlotte Ashe, the dead lord's now penniless widow, and Theo Bryght, a Bow Street Runner from London, is called in to investigate what is now suspected to be murder. Who would want to murder Viscount Ashe? Is there more to his gambling addiction than meets the eye? Is there any chance that Lady Ashe will ever recover her lost fortune? These questions haunt Lady Ashe after she returns to her home in the North York Moors - for as she soon finds out, her husband's death may be just the first canto in a deadly ode to revenge.

Lord Byron remains, as he was to many of his contemporaries, the defining personality of his age and time, the quintessential late-Romantic: one whose life matched the freedom of imagination and possibility of his poetry, charismatic, irresistible, shocking and, of course, dying young. The full range of his work, however, reveals a less straightforward and less stereotypical writer than this: a thinker as well as a feeler, a poet rather than merely a sensationalist, someone who justifies his towering literary reputation as much as his scandalous one. This edition collects all of Byron's poetical works, including his plays and material omitted from early editions. It also contains a large selection of prose, including the journals, around half the known letters (a larger selection than hitherto available in a budget edition) and some translations and letters to magazines. All the works have been newly typeset for this edition, including ordering and correctly positioning the originally censored material. Leading Byron scholar Dr. Peter Cochran has written new critical introductions to the poetry and prose for this edition, including historical and literary context and contemporary and subsequent critical reception, plus a bibliography and chronology of Byron's life. The contents of the volumes are: Volumes 1-7: Introduction to the poetical works by Dr. Peter Cochran; Poetry (including plays); Volumes 8-13 - Introduction to the prose works by Dr. Peter Cochran, Letters, journals and prose; and, The basis of the texts is Ernest Hartley Coleridge's edition of the poetry and Rowland E. Prothero's edition of the prose (as published uniformly, London: John Murray, 1898). Further letters have been added from the texts in John Murray, ed., Lord Byron's Correspondence (London: John Murray, 1922, 2 vols.) and from electronic texts supplied by Peter Cochran, and incorporated silently into the chronological sequence and numbering of the series. Additional poems and portions of Childe Harole initially suppressed have been supplied from the online edition by Peter Cochran and incorporated silently into the sequence. Minimize
