Item description from seller

224 pages. Cover wornThis book is a major reappraisal of Byron's poetry, which grapples firmly with t he paradox of his work - that in spite of his enormous influence, the magnetic p ower of his personality, and the fascination of his life, the poetry is often of inferior quality and so inconsistent in its attitudes that Byron's poetic serio usness is inevitably called into question. The focus of the book is the nature o f Byron's relationship with his public and its effect on his poetry; a subject t hat has remained largely unexplored. Dr Martin considers Byron's anomalous posit ion as an aristocrat in a literary market governed by commercial interests and m iddle class tastes and reading habits. He suggests that the whole of Byron's poe try can be seen as a performance determined by a number of factors: Byron's anxi eties about his modernity, his contemporaries, and the image his readers were re ady to fashion for him.
