Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-19 00:00:00 Paul Hornak Don Juan was pretty fun (but only Canto I and parts of Canto II were included). His lyric verse was also somewhat enjoyable to read, but no one could get me to read 'The Vision of Judgement' again. Not only was it a response to Robert Southey's 'A Vision of Judgement' from 1821 (which I have not read, and never plan to read... probably), but it was also an excellent sleeping pill. I got quite lost almost immediately and didn't bother to check for summaries or explanations, so yeah, that one might be on me now that I think about it...

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-31 00:00:00 Steven Petty 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.
