The Shorter Byron: Lyrical and Other Poems, Satirical and Occasional Verse, and Letters

"Together with William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats, George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) was one of the most iconic literary figures of the early Romantic movement. His verse covers a wide range of genres, including large scale narrative poems, sonnets, and satirical quips. Byron led a most adventurous life, which included many romantic affairs and he died fighting in the Greek War of Independence. There were two major influences on Byron’s poetry. One was the romantic, which he shared with his friends, Coleridge and Shelley; the other was the eighteenth-century Augustan mode, of which Alexander Pope was the greatest master. Byron’s natural facility with rhyme and metre enabled him to be very prolific, and some critics considered that this precocity resulted in a certain shallowness and facile charm. However, much of Byron’s verse displays both philosophic and emotional depth, and in his more satirical work he evinces a sharpness of perception characteristic of his poetic hero, Pope. This collection contains a wide range of pieces, demonstrating Byron’s versatility in form and expression. Also include is a selection of Byron’s letters to colleagues, friends, and lovers, which show the poet in his more revealing and unguarded moments."

Born in England – Exploring English Poetry - London

"Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history.England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names.In this volume the instantly globally recognisable city of London has, for century after century, dominated the country. Its rich history of art, culture and commerce interweave with generation after generation of poets to produce a supremely rich tapestry of undimmed brilliance. Our poets include Alexander Pope, Amy Levy, Edmund Spenser, John Keats, G K Chesterton and a host of others. Genius has many names."

[Spanish] - DON JUAN

"Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Don Juan es un poema satírico creado por Lord Byron, basado en la leyenda de Don Juan de origen español cuya pasión le hace desafiar leyes humanas y divinas. A lo largo de los siglos muchos han sido los autores, como Byron, Molière o Zorrilla, Azorín o Alejandro Dumas que han escrito sobre el personaje, incluyendo una ópera de Mozart, Don Giovanni, así como numerosas adaptaciones y referencias en el cine o la televisión. Se inspiró para crear el personaje principal del poema en su propia vida desenfrenada, así como también en los personajes literarios anteriores sobre Don Juan. Fue muy cuestionado por su contenido y se convirtió en un clásico literario reconocido internacionalmente por sus críticas sociales y humor sarcástico. “El amor halla sus caminos, aunque sea a través de senderos por donde ni los lobos se atreverían a seguir su presa”. George Gordon Byron 1788-1824"
