What is The love poems of Lord Byron : a romantic's passion about?

<p>Truly the epitome of the Romantic Poet, Lord Byron traveled and loved throughout Europe and wrote picaresque verse that proved immensely popular to audiences of his day. The man whose name is synonymous with romance gave his life in the noble cause of Greek liberty at the young age of thirty-six.</p> <p>Byron's love lyrics-like his epic works, <i>Childe Harold's Pilgrimage</i> and <i>Don Juan</i>-cast light on his legendary amorous exploits. The poems range from his schoolboy imitation of Catullus, to the poems praising such early loves as Mary Chaworth and Theresa Macri, to the tender lyrics for his half sister, Augusta Leigh, and poignant reflections on a failed marriage in "Fare Thee Well." Byron's poetry reveals a complex mix of self-revelation and breadth of knowledge plus an artistically modern sensibility.</p> <p>This selection of forty-four poems includes an introduction to Byron's life and notes on individual poems. Portraits of the various women in Byron's life contribute to this handsome collector's edition.</p> <p><i>The Love Poems of Lord Byron: A Romantic's Passion</i> is the seventh volume in a poetry series that already includes <i>The Sonnets: Poems of Love</i>
