Byron and the Lake Poets
This essay examines Lord Byron’s response to the poetry, politics, and personas of the Lake Poets: William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey. It explores Byron’s career-long sense of rivalry, admiration, and opposition towards the Lakers and how these responses influenced his own works and his poetic identity. It argues that Byron sought to define himself and his poetry against this trio of poets, presenting himself as a poe…

Sporting Cultures, 1650-1850 is a collection of essays that charts important developments in the study of sport in the eighteen…

‘Of War and Taking Towns’
This chapter examines the works of Lord Byron and Felicia Hemans, whose obsession with war developed out of their engagement with the Peninsular War and whose poetic identities were profoundly shaped by their continued reflection on conflict. The chapter also focuses on one way in which these two writers represented war, the siege. They found in the siege a means of representing to their readership the entirety of modern war. The siege illustrate…
