Byron, Poetics and History

Byron, Poetics and History

Jane Stabler

Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
Jane Stabler offers the first full-scale examination of Byron's poetic form in relation to historical debates of his time. Responding to recent studies of publishing and audiences in the Romantic period, Stabler argues that Byron's poetics developed in response to contemporary cultural history and his reception by the English reading public. Drawing on extensive new archive research into Byron's correspondence and reading, Stabler traces the complexity of the intertextual dialogues that run through his work. For example, Stabler analyses Don Juan alongside Galignani's Messenger - Byron's principal source of news about British politics while in Italy - and refers to hitherto unpublished letters between Byron's publishers and his friends to reveal a powerful impulse among his contemporaries to direct his controversial poetic style to their own conflicting political ends. This fascinating study will be of interest to Byronists and, more broadly, to scholars of Romanticism in general.

Byron: Satirical and Critical Poems

Byron: Satirical and Critical Poems

G. G. Byron

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
The purpose of this edition, compiled in the 1920s, is to provide a selection of Byron's critical and satiric poetry that will illustrate fairly fully the objects of his scorn and of his admiration, as well as the evolution of his satiric style. English Bards and Scotch Reviewers and The Vision of Judgement are printed in full. The selections from Childe Harold are limited to such parts of the poem as can be described as critical; they are those in which he expresses opinions on literature or politics. Both here and in the selections from Don Juan some narrative elements are perforce not illustrated, but it is hoped, nevertheless, that enough is here given to suggest the character of the poems and to whet the appetite for more.

Byron: A Poet before his Public

Byron: A Poet before his Public

Philip W. Martin

Cambridge University Press
1982
pokkari
This book is a major reappraisal of Byron's poetry, which grapples firmly with the paradox of his work - that in spite of his enormous influence, the magnetic power of his personality, and the fascination of his life, the poetry is often of inferior quality and so inconsistent in its attitudes that Byron's poetic seriousness is inevitably called into question. The focus of the book is the nature of Byron's relationship with his public and its effect on his poetry; a subject that has remained largely unexplored. Dr Martin considers Byron's anomalous position as an aristocrat in a literary market governed by commercial interests and middle class tastes and reading habits. He suggests that the whole of Byron's poetry can be seen as a performance determined by a number of factors: Byron's anxieties about his modernity, his contemporaries, and the image his readers were ready to fashion for him.

Byron: Don Juan

Byron: Don Juan

Anne Barton

Cambridge University Press
2008
pokkari
In her introduction to this brilliant and outrageous literary landmark, Anne Barton places Don Juan within the context of Byron's life and reading, and offers an interpretation of the poem which demonstrates its underlying coherence and artistic integrity, despite Byron's mischievous protestations to the contrary. A long chapter on the reception of the poem considers some of the attempts to imitate or continue it, using them to define what is fundamental to Byron's own handling of the Don Juan legend.

Byron and the Victorians

Byron and the Victorians

Andrew Elfenbein

Cambridge University Press
1995
sidottu
This book is the first full-length study of Byron’s influence on Victorian writers, concentrating on Carlyle, Emily Brontë, Tennyson, Bulwer Lytton, Disraeli, and Wilde. It has two emphases, theoretical and literary-historical. Its theoretical project is to revise earlier understanding of literary influence through a demonstration of the ways that institutions of cultural production mediate the access that later writers have to earlier ones. Its literary-historical project is to suggest the many different responses that Victorian writers had to Byron and to his celebrity in British culture. It argues that defining oneself against Byron became a ritual of the Victorian authorial career. Victorian writers did not reject Byron outright: instead, they defined themselves through fictions of personal development away from values associated with Byron towards those associated with themselves as mature Victorian writers.

Byron and Romanticism

Byron and Romanticism

Jerome McGann

Cambridge University Press
2002
sidottu
This collection of essays represents twenty-five years of work by one of the most important critics of Romanticism and Byron studies, Jerome McGann. The collection demonstrates McGann’s evolution as a scholar, editor, critic, theorist, and historian. His ‘General Analytic and Historical Introduction’ to the collection presents a meditation on the history of his own research on Byron, in particular how scholarly editing interacted with the theoretical innovations in literary criticism over the last quarter of the twentieth century. McGann’s receptiveness to dialogic forms of criticism is also illustrated in this collection, which contains an interview and concludes with a dialogue between McGann and the editor. Many of these essays have previously been available only in specialist scholarly journals. Now McGann’s influential work on Byron can be appreciated more widely by new generations of students and scholars.

Byron's Works

Byron's Works

Richard Rabicoff

iUniverse
2002
pokkari
Byron's Works centers around the life of Jared Miller, an unemployed actuary who practices ambivalence like a religion. Jared is jarred by a baseball left on his doorstep, a talisman that stirs a long-forgotten memory. Through a series of flashbacks the story seamlessly jumps between Jared's childhood and adult lives, explaining why Jared is so upset by the mysterious baseball. Set in Kansas City, Missouri, and populated by a distinctly Midwestern crew of quirky characters, Byron's Works is an offbeat tale of one man's circuitous path to redemption.

Byron's Letters and Journals

Byron's Letters and Journals

George Gordon Byron

Belknap Press
1973
sidottu
George Gordon Byron was a superb letter-writer: almost all his letters, whatever the subject or whoever the recipient, are enlivened by his wit, his irony, his honesty, and the sharpness of his observation of people. They provide a vivid self-portrait of the man who, of all his contemporaries, seems to express attitudes and feelings most in tune with the twentieth century. In addition, they offer a mirror of his own time. This first collected edition of all Byron's known letters supersedes Prothero's incomplete edition at the turn of the century. It includes a considerable number of hitherto unpublished letters and the complete text of many that were bowdlerized by former editors for a variety of reasons. Prothero's edition included 1,198 letters. This edition has more than 3,000, over 80 percent of them transcribed entirely from the original manuscripts. The first volume of Byron's letters and journals covers his early years and includes his first pilgrimage to Greece and to the East, ending with his last letter from Constantinople on July 4, 1810, before his departure for Athens. Here is the direct record of his rapid development from the serious schoolboy to the facetious youth with ambivalent reactions to his perplexed mother, and the maturing man of extraordinary perceptions and sympathies and friendships. By the end of this volume he has already written English Bards and Scotch Reviewers (in part a spirited reaction to the reception of his earliest published work) and the first two Cantos of Childe Harold (published in 1812), which was to make him famous.

Prothero's edition included 1,198 letters. This edition has more than 3,000, over 80 percent of them transcribed entirely from the original manuscripts. The second volume of Byron's letters embraces his second year in Greece, his revealing accounts to Hobhouse and others of his life in Athens, his visit to Veli Pasha, and his return by Malta to England. It covers the period of the loss of his mother and of several of his closest friends, of his first acquaintance with Moore and Rogers, his maiden speech in the House of Lords, the publication of Childe Harold, and the resulting fame that brought him into Whig society. It marks the beginning of his correspondence with Lady Melbourne, who became the confidante of his liaisons with Lady Caroline Lamb and Lady Oxford, and who forwarded his first (rejected) proposal to Annabella Milbanke. Leslie A. Marchand, the author of critical studies and of the definitive biography of Byron, has brought a lifetime of study to the major task of editing these letters. He has done it with a restraint and objectivity that allows Byron to come through to us with unimpeded clarity.
