Selected Poems of Lord Byron

Selected Poems of Lord Byron offers a curated anthology of the iconic Romantic poet’s most celebrated works, capturing his signature blend of passion, satire, and wanderlust. Published as part of the affordable Wordsworth Poetry Library series, this paperback edition prominently features Byron’s unfinished epic Don Juan in full, alongside excerpts from Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, the sharp satirical verse of English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, and A Vision of Judgment. These selections showcase Byron’s (1788-1824) mastery of the Byronic hero—brooding, rebellious, and worldly—while reflecting his adventures across Europe, biting critiques of society, and lyrical explorations of love, exile, and nature.
