George Gordon, sixth Baron Byron

This is a rollicking, fizzing, flighty, purposely excessive poem. It parodies yet also hitches a lift on Byron 's own whimsical style. Impersonating the male poet who lambasts Our maudlin, hey-down-derrified pathetic frees Lamb...

LCL died at Melbourne House in London; she left to Sydney Morgan her portrait of Byron and some of his letters.

The British Library Catalogue lists this work under Byron , not Lamb. She paid for its publication, and sent copies to friends and reviewing journals. Her aims here as she described them were at...

LCL read an advance copy of the early cantos of Byron 's Childe Harold, and wrote a poem expressing her wish to emulate him.

Byron praised the Canterbury Tales, but in 1913George Saintsbury asserted that Byron had done so either irresponsibly or impishly. They were, he said, not exactly bad, but also as far as possible from...

The volume opens with The Poet's Address, which excuses its disconnection from the original frame: Should you be good-naturedly disposed, you will not inquire minutely where the travellers were picked up by whom the...

This tale reached its fifth edition independently of the other Tales in 1823, when it appeared as a kind of trailer to John Murray 's projected edition of the whole series. Byron recognised Kruitzner as...
