Childe Harold's Pilgrimage de George Gordon Byron

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

Autor George Gordon Byron
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iun 2009
THE CLASSIC: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by Lord Byron. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe." The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands. In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood. Childe Harold became a vehicle for Byron's own beliefs and ideas, but in the preface to canto four Byron complains that his readers conflate him and Child Harold too much, so he will not speak of Harold as much in the final canto. According to Jerome McGann, by masking himself behind a literary artifice, Byron was able to express his view that "man's greatest tragedy is that he can conceive of a perfection which he cannot attain."

Notă biografică

Lord Byron (1788-1824) was a British politician and poet. Born in London to a family of aristocrats and military officers, Byron was raised in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he struggled in school and was prone to violent outbursts. As a young man, he studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, gaining a reputation as a gambler, fighter, and womanizer. In 1809, he embarked on a tour of the Mediterranean, traveling to Portugal, Spain, Sardinia, Malta, Greece, and Constantinople. Byron returned to England in 1811 and published the first two cantos of Childe Harold¿s Pilgrimage in 1812, launching his career as a literary sensation. In 1815, he married the mathematician Annabella Millbanke; their daughter Ada would go on to a successful mathematician and pioneer of computer science. By 1816, however, the pair divorced over Byron¿s reckless behavior and serial infidelity, and the poet was forced to leave England due to scandal and insurmountable debt. He spent the rest of his life abroad, arriving in the summer of 1816 in Geneva, where he befriended Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Godwin. Their time at the Villa Diodati that rainy summer, which they spent writing and sharing stories and poems, is seen as a landmark moment in Romanticism. Mary (who would later marry Shelley and take his last name) composed her novel Frankenstein, while Byron continued his work on Childe Harold¿s Pilgrimage. Later that year, he left for Venice and became interested in Armenian culture and independence. In 1818, while in Venice, he began his epic poem Don Juan, which he would continue for the next several years. He became involved with the movement for Greek independence in 1823, raising a substantial amount of money for the cause and preparing, in 1824, to launch an attack on a Turkish fortress on the Gulf of Corinth. He fell ill before the expedition set sail, however, and died in April of that year.
