This volume offers a wide-ranging, comprehensive selection of Byron's poetry and prose.
It includes eighteen of his lyrics; Cantos One,
Three, and excerpts from Canto Four of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage; two verse romances, The Prisoner of Chillon and The Giaour, the latter newly receiving critical attention for its prophetically disjunctive structure; Manfred; The Vision of Judgment; and Don Juan, presented in long self-contained extracts—the First, Fifth, Ninth, and Sixteenth Cantos complete, with the close of the Second Canto. An unusually rich selection from Byron's letters and journals accompanies the poems.
The critical essays offer an integrated view of Byron's achievement as well as analyses of its different facets. Published for the first time is Bergen Evans's general essay "Lord Byron's Pilgrimage"; other essays are by John D. Jump, Michael G. Cooke, Francis Berry, Robert F.
Gleckner, James R. Thompson, Frank D. McConnell, Leslie A. Marchand,
and E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
A special section, "Images of Byron," presents 26 views of Byron as artist and as the epitome of the Romantic hero, ranging from the perspectives of his contemporaries to those of such modern writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, and Albert Camus.
A Chronology sets forth the main events of Byron's life, and a Selected Bibliography lists sources for further study.

Byron's poetry
Lord Byron is quite the wit. His poetry is entertaining, the ones that were topical in his day are a little tougher to read because I didn't really understand the context of them but still his commentary is great.
There are samples of his poems in the first sixy-four pages and the rest is his narrative verse.
I really liked the way he tells the story in rhyme, although I could wish that he would occasionally get his clever self out of the way and keep telling the story as he does tend to pause to contemplate on this or that subject and give his opinion and tell a joke or two. These little bits do tend to be jarring just when the story's getting exciting but I know that's partly the time in which he lived and was writing. His poetry is beautiful and enduring.
