Opis

The penultimate work in the Oxford English Text's Byron Series, this volume, described by Ian Jack as "one of the finest editions we have of any of the Romantic poets," contains all Byron's works of 1821 and 1822, including his late plays--The Two Foscari, Sardanapalus, Cain: A Mystery, and the unfinished, The Deformed Transformed.

Recenzje

If ever we needed a forceful reminder of Byron's complexity, of his serious ambitions as a writer ... then the evidence is here, presented with all the fullness and detail that we have come to expect ... from this edition ... what is going to be of really major importance is the availability of that extraordinary body of texts that Byron produced in the last three years of his life ... when I look back at the whole project I can only reiterate my admiration for the ambition and scope of the enterprise; the sheer amount of both wide-ranging and extremely detailed knowledge. It is a triumph for Byron and his editors.
