Author : Lord Byron

George Gordon Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron, was a prominent British poet and a central figure of the Romantic movement. Renowned for his compelling works, including the poignant poems "She Walks in Beauty," "When We Two Parted," and "So, We'll Go No More a Roving," as well as the epic narratives "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" and "Don Juan," Byron is celebrated as one of the greatest poets in British literature. His legacy extends beyond his literary achievements; his tumultuous life, marked by aristocratic privilege, passion-fueled romances, financial struggles, and social controversies, captivated many. Lady Caroline Lamb famously characterized him as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." In addition to his literary pursuits, Byron was actively engaged in political causes, serving as a leader in Italy’s Carbonari movement against Austria and later fighting for Greek independence against the Ottoman Empire, earning him enduring admiration as a national hero in Greece. Byron's life came to a premature end in Messolonghi, Greece, where he succumbed to a fever.
