Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-1818) is a book length poem by British Romantic Lord Byron. Published in cantos, the narrative poem is arranged in four parts, each following the journey of Harold, a character based on Byron himself. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage established Byron's reputation as a leading poet of his era, laying the foundation for many of the elements of Romantic poetry-melancholy, sublime and beautiful landscapes, and a wandering hero-that...

Despite this relatively short life he still managed to create a volume of poetry that achieved him the status as one of the greatest of all English poets. This representative selection includes such classics as "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", a sweeping narrative...

This is the fifth volume of seven THE COMPLETE WORKS OF LORD BYRON, Vol 5. The plays and poems contained in this volume were written within the space of two years-the last two years of Byron's career as a poet. But that was not all. Cantos VI.-XV. of Don Juan, The Vision of Judgment, The Blues, The Irish Avatar, and other minor poems, belong to the same period. The end was near, and, as though he had received a warning, he hastened to make the roll...

Excerpt: "The material contained in these two volumes consists partly of letters now for the first time printed; partly of letters already published by Moore, Dallas, and Leigh Hunt, or in such books as Galt's Life of Lord Byron, and the Memoirs of Francis Hodgson. Speaking generally, it may be said that the text of the new matter, with the few exceptions noted below, has been prepared from the original letters, and that it has proved impossible to...

Extrait: "Muse aux pieds qui scintillent! toi dont le magique pouvoir, naguère limité aux jambes, s'étend maintenant aux bras ; Terpsichore, — trop longtemps réputée vierge, — terme de reproche qui était pour toi une injure, brille désormais dans tout ton éclat, la moins vestale des neuf chastes Sœurs! Loin de toi et des tiens l'épithète de prude ; raillée, mais triomphante ; attaquée par la médisance, mais invaincue ; tes pieds...

Extrait : "Les vassaux se réjouissent dans le vaste domaine de Lara, et l'esclavage a presque oublié sa chaîne féodale ; le maître qu'ils n'espéraient plus revoir, mais qu'ils n'avaient point oublié, de son long et volontaire exil est enfin de retour : au château qui s'anime, les visages sont riants ; les coupes sont sur la table ; les bannières flottent sur les créneaux ; le foyer se rallume et réfléchit sur les vitraux peints sa flamme...
