Byron (Ellis David)(Paperback)

A fresh, concise account of the Romantic poet Lord Byron's flamboyant life and work. In this book, David Ellis traces Lord Byron's life from rented lodgings in Aberdeen and the crumbling splendors of Newstead Abbey to his final grand tour of Asia. Describing his exile from England as well as his subsequent travels in Italy and Greece, Ellis shows just how completely Byron's experiences colored both his serious and comic writings, such as Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and The Corsair. This is a fresh, concise, and clear-eyed account of the flamboyant poet's life and work.
