Book Description
Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812-1818) is a book length poem by British Romantic Lord Byron. Published in cantos, the narrative poem is arranged in four parts, each following the journey of Harold, a character based on Byron himself. Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage established Byron’s reputation as a leading poet of his era, laying the foundation for many of the elements of Romantic poetry—melancholy, sublime and beautiful landscapes, a wandering hero—that would inspire generations of writers, artists, and musicians to come. Harold, a young and deeply unsatisfied man, wanders across a Europe divided by war. In Spain and Portugal, he observes the horrible aftermath of French occupation. While in Greece, though inspired by its classical architecture and immense beauty, he is overcome with grief by the daily realities of life under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Harold makes his way to Belgium, where he visits the battlefield at Waterloo before departing for Switzerland by way of the Rhine. Toward the end of his pilgrimage, Harold travels from Venice throughout Italy, observing its natural wonders and musing on its storied history. Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage—part fictional narrative, part autobiography—is a moving map of a young man’s mind and a continent’s historical experience. It is both a record of Romanticism’s influence on literature and psychology and a testament to the profound influence of trauma and conflict on the individuals and cultures of nineteenth century Europe. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lord Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage is a classic of English literature and Romanticism reimagined for modern readers.

Book Description
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is the poem that made Lord Byron world famous and remains one of his most popular and acclaimed works. The unprecedented, much imitated, but never equaled combination of immediacy, lyrical beauty, diverse content, and picaresque adventure that made it an immediate sensation is still what impresses. Childe is the truly rare poem that nearly everyone can enjoy; though a favorite of many poetry buffs, it is also known for appealing to those who do not normally like poetry. Nothing less than one of the greatest poems ever, it is an immortal literary work that continues to sparkle and invigorate nearly as much as ever for those alive to its magic. Though such a thing is now almost impossible to even conceive, poetry was more popular than prose in the early nineteenth century, and Childe was a stunning bestseller; people read it the way they now read Stephen King. It is easy to see why; very few poems, especially long ones, are so thoroughly readable. Childe practically leaps off the page; in distinct contrast to Wordsworth and other poets then popular, it can be read at near-pulp speed. This is partly due to Byron's effortless mastery of meter and other poetic facets; his Spenserian stanzas are immaculately conceived, their strict rhythm drawing us in and keeping us hooked. He also shows more than a hint of the superb rhyming talent that would later reach full fruition; rhyme lovers want to keep reading just to see what he will chime next. Simply put, this is essential for anyone who loves poetry, and even many who do not will be pleasantly surprised. It is well worth buying on its own, and this is a deluxe edition, but is also available in many Byron collections. Readers who can find one of the latter for a good price are well advised to buy it, as they will get many other excellent works also, but Childe is greatly rewarding however one chooses to read it.
