Byron: Poems Medieval

Byron: Poems MedievalTo the nineteenth century reader, George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788 1824), was the archetype of the Romantic literary hero, a figure admired and emulated as much for the revolutionary panache with which he lived his life as the brio and allure of his verse. Our century has seen him more clearly as a poet whose intellectual toughness, satiric gifts, and utter inability to be boring have made him one of the great comic spirits in our literature.
