Annotation: 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. Looking beyond the scandal, Byron leaves us a body of work that proved crucial to the development of English poetry and provides a fascinating counterpoint to other writings of the Romantic period.

- an accessible introduction to the contexts and many interpretations of Byron's texts, from publication to the present
- an introduction to key critical texts and perspectives on Byron's life and work, situated in a broader critical history

- suggestions for further reading
