Description: Lord Byron (1788 - 1824) was a poet and satirist as famous in his time for his love affairs and questionable morals as he was for his poetry.

Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of Byron and seeking not only a guide to his works but also a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds them.
