In her introduction to this brilliant and outrageous literary landmark, Anne Barton places Don Juan within the context of Byron's life and reading, and offers an interpretation of the poem which demonstrates its underlying coherence and artistic integrity, despite Byron's mischievous protestations to the contrary. A long chapter on the reception of the poem considers some of the attempts to imitate or continue it, using them to define what is fundamental to Byron's own handling of the Don Juan legend.
Read more- Don Juan (or parts thereof) is often a set book at A level and on undergraduate courses
- It is one of the best known of Byron's poems, full of wit and brilliance but at the same time (in the eyes of his contemporaries) full of outrageous satire, blasphemy and immorality
- Our volume provides much contextual material; chronological table, information on the poem's Italian background and stages of composition, and its afterlife
