Life Lessons from Byron by Matthew Bevis (9781447245742)

Description - Life Lessons from Byron by Matthew Bevis

Lord Byron was an English poet and a leading figure in the Romantic movement. Born in 1798, he was celebrated as much for his scandalous private life as for his enduring poetry. A prolific writer, he is famous for his long narrative poetical works and remains one of the most influential contributors to literature. Here you will find extracts from his greatest works. The Life Lessons series from The School of Life takes a great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to ordinary everyday dilemmas. These books emphasise ways in which wise voices from the past have urgently important and inspiring things to tell us. This book is introduced and edited by Matthew Bevis, lecturer and English fellow of Keble College, Oxford, and the author of The Art of Eloquence: Byron, Tennyson, Joyce.
