Byron''s life and work have fascinated readers around the world
for two hundred years, but it is the complex interaction between
his art and his politics, beliefs and sexuality that has attracted
so many modern critics and students. In three sections devoted to
the historical, textual and literary contexts of Byron''s life and
times, these specially commissioned essays by a range of eminent
Byron scholars provide a compelling picture of the diversity of
Byron''s writings. The essays cover topics such as Byron''s interest
in the East, his relationship to the publishing world, his
attitudes to gender, his use of Shakespeare and eighteenth-century
literature, and his acute fit in a post-modernist world. This
Companion provides an invaluable resource for students and
scholars, including a chronology and a guide to further
reading.
