This volume, an edition of Lord Byron's major poetic output, centers on his comic masterpiece, *Don Juan*, which follows the hero's adventures across Europe and the Near East, critically engaging with the political, cultural, and social concerns of Byron's day. The collection also includes selections from *Childe Harold's Pilgrimage*, as well as the complete satirical poems *English Bards and Scotch Reviewers* and *A Vision of Judgement*. Additionally, it features other major works such as *The Two Foscari* and *The Lament of Tasso*, alongside his shorter lyrical poems. The edition includes an introduction, bibliography, and glossary by Dr. Paul Wright, which contextualize Byron’s flamboyant life and work, demonstrating how he both fostered and critiqued the notorious 'Byronic myth' of heroic adventure and sexual scandal.
