Manfred

This Byron fellow is clearly incredibly talented but a bit of a weirdo. It is extremely dark from start to finish. I was expecting something lighter, more like Don Juan, which I loved. This is all about someone wandering in the Alps agonising over having had an incestuous relationship. Some of the language is brilliant but it is very difficult to sympathise with the "hero". Someone should have told him not to have sex with his sister. It will not end well.

I probably wouldn't have read this out of choice but I had to for my degree. I found it a really great and interesting poem - it has made me love Byron!

Unreadable publishing. This is a con and amazon should not be selling this kind of shoddy product, even if it just a couple of quid.
