Childe Harolds Pilgrimage is a captivating narrative poem composed in four parts by the renowned Lord Byron, published between 1812 and 1818 and dedicated to the enigmatic Ianthe. This poem captures the journey and introspections of a young man, world-weary and disenchanted with a life filled with fleeting pleasures, as he seeks solace and distraction in distant lands. Through its verses, the poem poignantly reflects the melancholy and disillusionment experienced by a generation scarred by the turmoil of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title Childe refers to a medieval ...

In this evocative poem, Byron captures the heart-wrenching final stand of the Venetians as the Ottoman army launches its assault on Acrocorinth. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Lanciotto, a Venetian renegade now fighting for the Ottomans, and Francesca, the enchanting daughter of the Venetian garrisons governor, Minotti. Having initially been spurned by Minotti when he sought Francescas hand, Lanciotto fled his homeland after being falsely accused through the notorious Lions Mouth at the Doges palace. Now under the Turkish banner, he has forsaken both his nationality and faith. Yet, ...

Willkommen im Regency, dem Übergang vom 18. ins 19. Jahrhundert! Ian Mortimer nimmt uns mit in diese kuriose Zeit, die für viele schlichtweg für Übermaß steht. Zwischen der leicht langweilig anmutenden Eleganz des 18. Jahrhunderts und der prüden moralischen Überlegenheit der Frühviktorianer wirkt diese Epoche liederlich, grell, gefährlich, schockierend und anstößig – doch dabei höchst unterhaltsam und anziehend. Es ist das Zeitalter von Jane Austen und den Dichtern der Romantik, der Gemälde von John Constable, der eleganten Kleidung von Beau Brummell und der poetischen Freiheit von Lord Byron.
