His poems seduced and scandalized readers, and his life and legend were correspondingly magnetic, given added force by his early death in the Greek War of Independence. This introduction compresses his extraordinary life to manageable proportions and gives readers a firm set of contexts in the politics, warfare, and Romantic ideology of Byron's era. It offers a guide to the main themes in his wide-ranging oeuvre, from the early poems that made him famous (and infamous) overnight, to his narrative tales, dramas and the comic epic left incomplete at his death. 410 0$aCambridge introductions to literature. 676 $a821/.7 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 700 $aLansdown$b Richard$f1961-$064184 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822826203321 996 $aThe Cambridge introduction to Byron$94127901 997 $aUNINA
