Caroline Franklin - Byron

[ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
Byron
Lord Byron (1788–1824) was as famous in his time for his love affairs and revo-
lutionary politics as he was for his trail-blazing Romantic and satiric poetry,
which sold countless copies across Europe. 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.
This guide to Byron’s sometimes daunting, always extraordinary work offers:
• an accessible introduction to the 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;
• cross-references between sections of the guide, in order to suggest links
between texts, contexts and criticism;
• suggestions for further reading.
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.

Routledge Guides to Literature
offer clear introductions to the most widely
studied authors and literary texts. Each book engages with texts, contexts and
criticism, highlighting the range of critical views and contextual factors that need
to be taken into consideration in advanced studies of literary works. The series
encourages informed but independent readings of texts by ranging as widely as
possible across the contextual and critical issues relevant to the works examined
and highlighting areas of debate as well as those of critical consensus. Alongside
general guides to texts and authors, the series includes ‘sourcebooks’, which allow
access to reprinted contextual and critical materials as well as annotated extracts
of primary text.
