Lord Byron

* Cultural Reference Chapters 12-13 *

George Gordon Byron was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Lord Byron has many reputable works. Most of these works are narrative poems including Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Don Juan. Many of his works later on were considered unfinished when he died. Lord Byron is known to be one of the greatest European poets and is still very famous

Lord Byron’s life was as interesting as his writings. He had many love affairs, debts to pay, separations, and accusations of having intimate relationships with family members. He was also a regional leader of Italy’s revolutionary organization called the Carbonari. Unfortunately Lord Byron died from fever in Missolonghi.
