698 pp. Maroon cloth, gilt, black and red titles and decorations. Engraved frontispiece. Lord Byron (born January 22, 1788, London, England - died April 19, 1824, Missolonghi, Greece) was a British Romantic poet and satirist whose poetry and personality captured the imagination of Europe. Renowned as the "gloomy egoist" of his autobiographical poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812 - 18) in the 19th century, he is now more generally esteemed for the satiric realism of Don Juan (1819 - 24).
