This volume serves as an introduction to the life and works of the poet George Gordon, Lord Byron, chronicling his experiences up until July 1811. It combines his letters and journals with biographical notes, providing insight into both his personal life and literary career, illustrating the complex character of a man who was both celebrated and controversial. The opening of this biography sets the stage for a deep exploration of Byron’s early years, including the influence of his lineage and upbringing.
