About this listen
The epitome of the romantic literary hero, Lord Byron was as well known in his time for the revolutionary panache with which he lived as for his extremely popular verse. “As a myth,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “his importance, especially on the continent, was enormous.” His many tempestuous relationships were the subject of scandal which only added to his celebrity. His name has even entered into our language to describe a man of deep passion and defiance.
Byron’s poetry, satirical, shocking, romantic, and dramatic, is replete with witticisms, surprise rhymes, and editorial comment. Poems in this collection include "She Walks in Beauty", "So, We'll Go No More Aroving", "Epistle to Augusta", "Beppo", "The Spell Is Broke, the Charm Is Flown!" "Churchill's Grave", excepts from Don Juan, and more.

thank you mother for reading me Lord Byron instead of dr. Seuss. I always was and will remain grateful for the experience. I'm sure she did very good readings.

Passing Fan of Byron
I've only ever been a passing fan of Lord Byron. In fact, Romantic Era poetry on the whole is only something I dabble in. But the narration in this just made the whole collection sound pompous. It was hard to listen to.
