Reseña del libro "A Guide to Byron's Verse in Fifty Poems (en Inglés)"

\n
\nAn accessible introduction to the range, value, and diversity of Byron's poetry. Fifty short essays are each devoted to a single poetic work. The essays provide the background and context for the poem, as well as demonstrating the life of the poetry in terms of genre, form, style, and literary tradition.
\n
\nThis book extends our understanding of Lord Byron''s poetry--as opposed to his life and legend--by offering fifty very short discussions of his best poems, be they lyrics, four cantos of poetic travelogue in Childe Harold''s Pilgrimage, narrative poems set in the Middle East and elsewhere, dramas (neoclassical, Faustian, or Biblical), satires, love songs, or the seventeen cantos of his comic epic, Don Juan. The coverage is wide, from the very beginning of Byron''s career in Nottinghamshire to its very end in Greece, and the approach is accessible, giving readers something to think about rather than telling them what to think, without ''explaining poems away''. The focus is sometimes biographical, sometimes historical, sometimes generic, sometimes formalist, but always the texts are chosen on the basis of their quality, first and foremost. The book is designed to be dipped into, or read from cover to cover, as the reader prefers--and, of course, the choice of Byron''s fifty best things will itself promote discussion of a poet who deserves to stand just behind Shakespeare alongside Chaucer, Milton, Pope, and Wordsworth as one of the central figures in English verse.
