This early collection of poems by Byron reveals the nascent voice of the literary titan, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition through the vehicle of exquisite verse.
Amongst Byron's best-known works are the brief poems She Walks in Beauty, When We Two Parted, and So, we'll go no more a roving, in addition to the narrative poems Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan.
Prothero's edition included 1,198 letters. This edition will have more than 3,000, over 80 percent of them transcribed entirely from the original manuscripts. Byron's epistolary saga continues con brio in this volume.
The narrative poem is set in the time of Moslem rule. The story is narrated from three different point of views. It is a tale of love, revenge and repentance.
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe".
