Abstract
|
"The country of his birth proves difficult to get rid of, as a place ’where men are proud to be’ and ’Not without cause’. Nonchalance (and sexual mischief) mingles with pathos, as Byron vaunts his skill with ’other tongues’ and his intrepidness in seeking ’out a home by a remoter sea’, while confessing affection for the ’inviolate island of the sage and free’. Though in Don Juan he declares ’I am half a scot by birth, and bred / A whole one’, he was born in London and lived in England for much of his life; all of the years relating to his time as a literary celebrity were spent south of the border"-- Provided by publisher.
