 George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
Historical Thread

Poet whose scandalous life and creation of the "Byronic hero" influenced the continent (Nietzsche) more than his homeland. His epic verse is more aligned in tone and theme with Pope and the other neoclassical poets. Yet Byron is still considered to be the epitome of the Romantic: moody, saturnine, passionate, remorseful yet unrepentant.
