Manfred - A Dramatic Poem

release date: Apr 11, 2021
Manfred - A Dramatic Poem
In "Manfred - A Dramatic Poem," Lord Byron crafts a haunting exploration of the human psyche, intertwined with themes of guilt, redemption, and the supernatural. Written in 1817 during the height of the Romantic era, Byron employs a rich, lyrical style that merges the introspective soliloquies of his tormented protagonist with a sublime natural landscape, reflecting the tumult within. The poem unfolds through a series of dramatic dialogues, revealing Manfred''Äôs existential struggle and his defiance against divine authority, drawing the reader into a labyrinth of metaphysical inquiry that resonates with contemporary existential philosophy. Lord Byron, a leading figure of the Romantic movement, was profoundly influenced by his tumultuous personal life, including his own battles with identity, desire, and loss, which permeate his literary output. His travels across Europe and encounters with radical political thought further informed the themes of alienation and rebellion present in "Manfred." Byron''Äôs own flamboyant persona and poignant reflections on human emotion lend authenticity to this poetic exploration of despair and yearning for transcendence. "Manfred" is essential reading for those interested in Romantic literature, psychology, and the gothic tradition. This jewel of drama invites readers to ponder profound questions about existence and the inner workings of the soul, making it a timeless piece that resonates with modern audiences. Byron''s mastery of language and emotion will captivate anyone eager to delve into the depths of human experience.

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage - Publishing People Series
Childe Harold''s Pilgrimage was the poem which brought Lord Byron public recognition. He himself disliked the poem, because he felt it revealed too much of himself. In it a young man (called childe after the medieval term for a candidate for knighthood) travels to distant lands to relieve the boredom and weariness brought on by a life of dissipation. It is thought to be a comment on the post-Revolutionary and -Napoleonic generation, who were weary of war.

Childe Harold''s Pilgrimage: Large Print Lord George Gordon Byroning mounds, or in the vale beneath,Are domes where whilom kings did make repair;But now the wild flowers round them only breathe:Yet ruined splendour still is lingering there.And yonder towers the prince''s palace fair:There thou, too, Vathek! England''s wealthiest son,Once formed thy Paradise, as not awareWhen wanton Wealth her mightiest deeds hath done,Meek Peace voluptuous lures was ever wont to shun.XXIII.Here didst thou dwell, here schemes of pleasure plan.Beneath yon mountain''s ever beauteous brow;But now, as if a thing unblest by man,Thy fairy dwelling is as lone as thou!Here giant weeds a passage scarce allowTo halls deserted, portals gaping wide;Fresh lessons to the thinking bosom, howVain are the pleasaunces on earth supplied;Swept into wrecks anon by Time''s ungentle tide.We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Childe Harolds Pilgrim

release date: Nov 30, 2015
Childe Harolds Pilgrim
George Gordon Byron (aka Lord Byron), later Noel, 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale FRS was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Amongst Byron''s best-known works are the brief poems She Walks in Beauty, When We Two Parted, and So, we''ll go no more a roving, in addition to the narrative poems Childe Harold''s Pilgrimage and Don Juan. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential, both in the English-speaking world and beyond. Byron''s notabilty rests not only on his writings but also on his life, which featured upper-class living, numerous love affairs, debts, and separation. He was notably described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Byron served as a regional leader of Italy''s revolutionary organization, the Carbonari, in its struggle against Austria. He later travelled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died from a fever contracted while in Messolonghi in Greece.
