Described by a contemporary as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know", Byron (1788-1824) has been haunted by his infamous reputation for over 200 years. This readable and lively biography of the poet examines his chaotic, contradictory life as an aristocrat with republican views, a proponent of romantic love notorious for his casual relationships, and a religious agnostic who admired Roman Catholicism. Byron traveled through Europe on horseback, and on his return published Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. The poem was a bestseller, which along with follow-up successes Don Juan and Bride of Abydos secured Lord Byron's reputation as one of England's most talented poets and Romanticism's most recognizable symbol.
