New Releases by George Gordon Byron

In ''Fugitive Pieces,'' readers encounter an evocative amalgam of lyricism and romantic melancholy from the pen of the prodigious George Gordon Byron, known commonly as Lord Byron. This early collection of poems by Byron reveals the nascent voice of the literary titan, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition through the vehicle of exquisite verse. The literary style of Byron here is raw and immensely readable, encapsulating the fierce emotion and splendid imagery that would later hallmark his grander works. Set against the backdrop of the Romantic era, these poems resonate with a yearning for the sublime and a profound meditation on the impermanent nature of life itself. George Gordon Byron, an enfant terrible of the 19th-century literary scene, was frequently preoccupied with the introspections and rebellions characteristic of the Romantic spirit. His own tempestuous life—a tapestry woven with aristocratic excesses, passionate affairs, and political engagements—inevitably found its way into his poetry. ''Fugitive Pieces'' can be seen as an early reflection of Byron''s inner turmoil and genius, laying the groundwork for his subsequent literary endeavors and contributing to his reputation as a central figure in the Romantic movement. To those traversing the realms of Romantic literature, ''Fugitive Pieces'' by Lord Byron is indispensable, offering insights into the development of one of England''s most intriguing poets. Scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike will find in this collection not only the rhythms and themes that echo through much of Byron''s later work but also the raw emotions of a young poet grappling with his place in the world. Whether one is delving into Byron''s world for the first time or revisiting his impactful verse, ''Fugitive Pieces'' stands as both a cornerstone of Romantic literature and a testament to the enduring power of poetic expression.

Dedicated to "Ianthe", it describes the travels and reflections of a young man tired of the world, who is disappointed with a life of pleasure and joy and seeks distraction in foreign lands. In a broader sense, it is an expression of felt melancholy and disillusionment for a generation tired of the wars of the post-revolutionary and Napoleonic eras.

His autobiographical subjectivity was highly influential, not only in literature but also in the arts of music and painting, and was a powerful ingredient in European romanticism.The poem contains elements that are considered autobiographical, since Byron generated part of the story from the experience gained during his travels in Portugal, the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea between 1809 and 1811.

George Gordon Byron, later Noel, 6th Baron Byron FRS (1788-1824) was an English poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Amongst Byron''s best-known works are the brief poems She Walks in Beauty, and So We''ll Go no More a-Roving, and the narrative poems Childe Harold''s Pilgrimage (1812-1818) and Don Juan (1819-1824), although the latter remained incomplete on his death. He is regarded as one of the greatest European poets and remains widely read and influential, both in the Englishspeaking world and beyond. 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 in Messolonghi in Greece. Amongst his other works are: Fugitive Pieces (1806), Hours of Idleness (also titled Juvenilia) (1807), English Bards and Scotch Reviewers (1809), Hebrew Melodies (1815), The Prisoner of Chillon (1816), Manfred (1817) and The Works of Lord Byron (7 volumes) (1898).

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 will have more than 3,000, over 80 percent of them transcribed entirely from the original manuscripts. Byron''s epistolary saga continues con brio in this volume. At the start of 1818 he sends off the last canto of Childe Harold and abandons himself to the debaucheries of the Carnival in Venice. At the close of 1819 he resolves to return to England but instead follows Teresa Guiccioli to Ravenna. In the meantime he writes three long poems and two cantos of Don Juan, whose bowdlerization he violently protests; he breaks off with Marianna Segati, copes with his amorous "tigress" Margarita Cogni, then falls passionately in love with the young Countess Guiccioli; he thinks seriously of emigrating to South America; he takes custody of his little daughter Allegra and becomes increasingly fond of the child. The Shelleys visit him, as does Thomas Moore, to whom he entrusts his memoirs (burned after his death). The letters to friends are a marvelous outpouring of funny anecdotes, practical talk, discussions of his poems, statements of his beliefs. The love letters are in a class by themselves.

Volume XI, âe~For freedomâe(tm)s battleâe(tm), contains the letters Byron wrote from Greece between August 1823 and April 9, 1824, ten days before his death. Also included are over fifty letters dating from 1807 to 1820 that have come to light since Leslie A. Marchand began this project ten years ago.In the letters from Greece a new set of correspondents appears, and a new tone is apparent. Although occasionally playful, Byron is preoccupied with the revolution and his efforts to unite the Greeks in a common cause despite their discord. His chief correspondents are his business agents in the islands and his banker friend in Genoa, Charles Barry, to whom he writes frank accounts of daily affairs. His letters to Hobhouse and to John Bowring attempt to give a realistic picture of the Greek struggle. To Teresa Guiccioli he writes only short, dutiful postscripts in English to the longer letters addressed to her brother.Among the additional letters that became available too late to take their chronological place in the earlier volumes are those discovered in 1976, locked in a trunk at Barclays Bank; all but one of these fourteen letters were written to Scrope Davies, Byronâe(tm)s witty friend and drinking companion.
