Byron and the Poetics of Adversity

Upending traditional Byron criticism to reveal a more relentlessly precise and skeptical poetic mind than ever previously thought, Jerome McGann offers numerous close readings of Byron's verse alongside that of his contemporaries to show how he challenged the limits of poetry and exposed the illusions and contradictions of his age.
