This Penguin Classic, based on the landmark Murray edition 1932 - 4, is the only widely available selection to include Byron's own notes on the same page as the poetic texts, and to present the poems in the sequence of composition and/or first publication, thus providing a sense of Byron's developing career. It contains the complete texts of many longer works not readily available in their entirety, including 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage', all but one of the Eastern tales, and the historical drama 'Sardanapalus', now regarded as a key text in the modern re-evaluation of Romanticism. The editors provide full notes, bibliography, a biographical sketch and detailed chronology of Byron's life and work.
