Byron's Don Juan - a short note The preparation of this annotated web version of Byron's Don Juan has been a labor of over four years. And very pleasant work, too. The text I have followed is that of Coleridge (1904), with frequent reference to the Riverside Edition edited by Leslie A. Marchand (1958) and to the definitive variorum edition by Truman Guy Steffan and Willis W. Pratt (U. Texas Press, 1957). The annotations fall into three classes: Byron's own notes are marked with an asterisk: [*]. These notes are actually part of the work, and some are both entertaining and helpful in understanding the text. They are often obscure, however, not always in English, and in several particulars, factually incorrect. At their best, though, they are almost as entertaining as the poem. See, for example, Byron's note on Sulyman in Canto V. I have taken the text of these notes from Coleridge's edition. Short notes that explain a particular word or phrase are marked by highlighting the text in question. For example, the word fazzioli might require some explanation.

Lord George Gordon Byron (1788-1824) was the son of Captain John Byron, and Catherine Gordon of Gight, a self-indulgent, somewhat hysterical woman, who was his second wife. He was born with a club-foot and became extreme sensitivity about his lameness. His life did not become easier when he received painful treatments for his foot by a quack practitioner in 1799. Eventually he got a corrective boot. At home Byron's alcoholic governess made sexual advances when he was nine. According to some sources, Byron was also seduced by the lord who rented his mansion before he inherited it. In 1807 appeared Byron's first collection of poetry, HOURS OF IDLENESS. It received bad reviews. The poet answered his critics with satire ENGLISH BARDS AND SCOTCH REVIEWS in 1808. Next year he took his seat in the House of Lords, and set out on his grand tour, visiting Spain, Albania, Greece, and the Aegean. In Malta he stopped for treatments of gonorrhea. Success came in 1812 when Byron published the first two cantos of CHILDE HAROLD'S PILGRIMAGE (1812-1818). "I awoke one morning and found myself famous," he later said. He became an adored character of London society, he spoke in the House of Lords effectively on liberal themes, and had a hectic love-affair with Lady Caroline Lamb. ''Mad - bad - and dangerous to know,'' she wrote in her journal on the evening she first saw him. But the love of Byron's life was according to Fiona MacCarthy (see

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Byron, George Gordon, Lord (1788-1824) page: No poet has ever fascinated his contemporaries to the same extent as Byron. His poetry enjoyed an immediate popularity inconceivable in our own day. What his contemporaries called a "Byronomania" was ignited by his aristocratic glamour, his personal beauty, and his literary persona, which mixed proud disdain with tantalizing hints of guilty secrets. Sponsor Message. His influence on other writers in Europe and the Americas and beyond was enormous; his narrative and descriptive poetry was also a major source of inspiration to painters, and to musicians like Berlioz, Rossini, Schumann, and Tchaikovsky. What was not understood in Byron's own century (except by a tiny circle of his associates) was that Byron was bisexual. During at least three periods of his life, homosexual interests predominated over his numerous heterosexual involvements. This side of Byron's nature, however, did not become general knowledge among scholars until the publication of biographical studies by G. Wilson Knight and Leslie Marchand in 1957. The taboo against homosexuality in England and the punitive measures against it (including frequent executions) reached their zenith in Byron's lifetime. Despite this hostility to same-sex love, there was at the same time a notable cult of romantic friendships among boys at English private schools, well attested by such writers as Benjamin Disraeli, Leigh Hunt, and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

28. George Gordon, Lord Byron The Incompetech website s somewhat satirical take on byron. http://incompetech.com/authors/byron/

the website with the self-referential tagline... George "Don Juan" Gordon, Lord Byron Byron (no one ever called him George) was born on 22 January 1788, in London. His parents, Catherine Gordon Byron (of the old and violent line of Scottish Gordons) and John Byron, had been hiding in France from their creditors, but Catherine wanted their child born in England, so he was . John stayed in France, living in his sister's house, and died in 1791, possibly a suicide . Catherine took her son to Scotland, where a deformity of his foot soon became evident. Special boots were made and treatments devised, but Byron limped all of hs life. He lived through his reading, being especially fond of Roman history, and dreamed of leading regiments of brave soldiers. When the Wicked Lord died, Byron became, at the tender age of ten, the sixth Lord Byron. Newstead, the ancestral home in England, was an absolute wreck , so Byron's mother moved them to nearby Nottingham. They were very poor. The Byron estate was mostly tied up in lawsuits, but Mrs. Byron finally got her son a decent income. He was sent to Dr. Glennie's Academy at Dulwich and then to Harrow, where he was, of course, mercilessly taunted by the other boys . He went back to Newstead for his Christmas holidays (it had been rented to a Lord Ruthyn and was now at least habitable) and fell in love with a neighbor (and cousin ) named Mary Ann Chaworth. So infatuated was he that he refused to return to Harrow after the holidays ended, and it took a huge fight with Lord Ruthyn to finally get him to go back.

Quotes By Wikipedia Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Artist: Lord George Byron Born January 22, 1788 in London Died April 19, 1824 in Mesolongion, Greece Country: England Biography Lord George Byron is one of the most colorful figures in literature, personifying the Romantic movement in his life as well as in his multi-faceted writings. The shortness of his life and his dramatic death he is still revered as a near martyr in Greece further enhance his stature, and the term Byronic hero is as vital a reference today as it was during his lifetime. No surprise, then, that both his writing and his life have inspired countless composers, from the time of his life to the present; only Shakespeare and Homer can claim such a lasting influence. It is that brooding, tortured, magnificently dramatic Byronic hero who has inspired the most music, though Byron's lyrical and satiric works have also attracted composers. Manfred, in particular, is a guilt-tortured figure who dies magnificently defying the demons who try to claim him; this character practically demands a musical setting. Byron was born to a noble but impoverished family, though his poetry soon won him fame and fortune, a fortune that turned to infamy with scandals of a suggested affair with his half sister and a stormy marriage that ended in divorce. He exiled himself to the continent, where his countless affairs continued to create scandal. He died of malaria while fighting in Greece for independence from the Turks. The best-known works based on his life or writing include

George Gordon Noel Byron one of the most important and notorious poets of the Romantic era, English-born. His past was that of establishement -educated nobleman who was viewed by some in his time and later generations as the embodiment of Romanitc ideals. Byron himself left his native home of England in a form of self imposed exile after rumors of an incestuous relationship with his half sister. A contradictory past led ultimatley to his death as the Commander of Greek forces in Mesolongion. In 1812, when the first part of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage was published, the Byronic hero was born. This term would come to mean a young man of stormy emotions who rejects humanity and wanders through life with guilt and weighed down by his sins. Byron's romantic poetry is some of the most beautiful and significant of its era. Source : Classics Network Editorial Team The most notorious Romantic poet and satirist. Byron was famous in his lifetime for his love affairs with women and Mediterranean boys. He created his own cult of personality, the concept of the 'Byronic hero' - a defiant, melancholy young man, brooding on some mysterious, unforgivable in his past. "There's not a joy the world can give that it takes away / When the glow of early thought declines in feeling's dull decay, / 'Tis not on youth's smooth cheek the blush alone, which fades so fast, / But the tender bloom of heart is gone, ere youth itself be past."
