Byron’s free-spirited lifestyle combined with his rare poetic gift to make him one of the foremost figures of the Romantic Era. This collection of his poems, richly varied in mood and content, captures the essence of his great achievement. Among the thirty-one poems included are convivial song-like poems, love poems, travel poems, humorous and satiric poems.Shorter works such as the famous "She Walks in Beauty, " "Stanzas to Augusta" and "So We’ll Go No More a Roving" are well represented. Also here are important longer works — "The Prisoner of Chillon, " "Beppo, " "The Vision of Judgment, " all unabridged — and lyrics excerpted from Don Juan, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, and the play Manfred. Taken together, these are poems that draw readers quickly into the passions, humors, and convictions of a poet whose life and work truly embodied the Romantic spirit.
