George Gordon Byron – the great English poet

Teacher: Temirbaeva T.Kh .

Lord George Gordon Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824)

Lord Byron, in full George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, (born January 22, 1788, London, England—died April 19, 1824, Missolonghi , Greece), British Romantic poet and satirist whose poetry and personality captured the imagination of Europe. Renowned as the “gloomy egoist” of his autobiographical poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812–18) in the 19th century, he is now more generally esteemed for the satiric realism of Don Juan (1819–24).

In 1803 he fell in love with his distant cousin, Mary Chaworth , who was older and already engaged, and when she rejected him she became the symbol for Byron of idealized and unattainable love. He probably met Augusta Byron, his half sister from his father’s first marriage, that same year.

Seeking to escape his love affairs in marriage, Byron proposed in September 1814 to Anne Isabella ( Annabella ) Milbanke . The marriage took place in January 1815, and Lady Byron gave birth to a daughter, Augusta Ada , in December 1815. From the start the marriage was doomed by the gulf between Byron and his unimaginative and humorless wife; and in January 1816 Annabella left Byron to live with her parents, amid swirling rumours centring on his relations with Augusta Leigh and his bisexuality. The couple obtained a legal separation. Wounded…
