Description

Byron's poetry was a sensation in Europe during the early 19th century, and this collection brings together some of his most enduring works. Among these are popular pieces like 'She walks in beauty' and 'We'll go a no more a-roving', alongside lesser-known gems.

However, Byron's true talent lay in comedy, and his comic verse is showcased here through BEPPO, A VISION OF JUDGEMENT, and selections from DON JUAN. This satirical masterpiece pokes fun at the very reputation that helped make Byron famous for his romantic exploits.

This selection offers a unique insight into Byron's range and versatility as a poet, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the Romantic movement's lighter side.
