65438-0805 entered Trinity College, Cambridge University. In the second year, I collected early poems and compiled them into impromptu poems.
1807 published his second book of poetry, Leisure Time, which was criticized by Edinburgh Review. He refuted it with the long poem "English Poets and Scottish Critics" (1809). This long poem satirizes the authority of the literary world, criticizes the Huxiang poets, and emphasizes the social content of literature and the poet's social responsibility, which has great influence and shows his outstanding talent and satirical edge for the first time.
At the age of 20 (1July, 809), Byron traveled abroad and visited many countries (Portugal, Spain, Albania, Greece, Turkey and other countries). 18 1 1 year. This trip opened his eyes, and he saw the heroic scene of the Spanish people fighting against Napoleon's invading army and the painful life of the Greek people under the slavery of Turkey. The first and second chapters of Childe Harold's Travels (the third and fourth chapters were completed in 18 16 and 18 18 respectively), which shocked European poetry circles. This is Byron's most important achievement during his trip to Europe.
The first chapter of Childe Harold's Travels was written in Albania on 1809, and the second chapter was completed in Ismail in March of the following year. After the publication of the long poem 18 12 in March, it caused a sensation in the literary world, swept the country and became his famous work, which earned him the reputation of "sentimental mysterious figure". He "woke up one night and found himself a celebrity". In this poem, exotic experiences and amorous feelings are combined with sentimental lyricism. Harold, the hero, was tired of the upper-class life and abandoned his country, sympathized with the actions of all ethnic groups for freedom, attacked tyrants and foreign rulers, called on the Greek people to resist Turkish slavery, and expressed the conflict between romantic ideals and the real world. Long poems are rich in content and are famous for their strong romantic lyricism. The author describes his experiences and impressions after traveling and living in European countries through the images of Harold and the lyric hero. In the first two chapters, Byron described the social features of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Albania during the Napoleonic Wars, condemned autocratic rule and supported the struggle for freedom of people of all countries.
Then Byron published Pagan (18 13), Bride of Abydos (18 13), Pirates (18 14) and Laila. In the poem, a series of independent, arrogant and rebellious heroic images are also created. They are pirates, pagans, rebels, homeless people, etc. They all have outstanding talents, strong will and rebellious enthusiasm, and dare to despise traditional order and tyranny, but their resistance is always combined with loneliness and melancholy, even proud of independence and solitude, and finally ends in tragedy. The most typical image is Conrad in One Piece. This image is called "Byronic hero" (single-handedly fighting against society). Cong 18 13 was forced to go abroad because of the publication of oriental narrative poems (1813-1816). When he participated in the activities of charcoal burners in Italy, he wrote a long poem "Bronze Age" to expose the reactionary face of the Holy Alliance.
18 15 after marriage, his wife heard that he had another lover, divorced angrily, took his daughter abroad, and declared that he would never return to England. Chapters 3 and 4 of Childe Harold's Travels were published in 18 16 and 18 18 respectively. The last two chapters praise the magnificence of European mountains and rivers, cherish the memory of great historical figures and praise European art. This lyric narrative poem and the unfinished masterpiece Don Juan are Byron's most famous masterpieces.
Byron published the first and second chapters of his long poem Don Juan. The long poetic novel Don Juan * * has written 16 chapters. It is a long narrative poem with great momentum, broad artistic conception, superb views and outstanding art. Although it has not been finalized, it has become one of the world's literary masterpieces. /kloc-At the age of 0/6, Don Juan was sent away by his mother because he fell in love with a young lady. At sea, he was auctioned off as a slave by pirates because he fell in love with the daughter of a pirate who saved him from danger. After having an extramarital affair in the Forbidden City in Turkey, he fled to Russia and was loved by the Queen, so he was sent to England on the orders of the Queen. Through Don Juan's wandering, the long poems widely reflected the social features of Europe and West Asia at that time, and expressed anti-feudal thoughts and sympathy for the struggle for national independence.
His major works are Manfred (18 17), Cain (182 1), Wiener (1823) and Foscari and Son (/kloc-0). Manfred (18 17) actually reflects the poet's anguish. A mysterious figure living in the depths of the Alps in the poem committed a great moral crime, which led to the death of his favorite person. Now he just wants to die as soon as possible. The hero is disappointed with the reality after the Great Revolution, but he is unwilling to go to the people, expressing the loneliness and despair of the intellectuals who refused to compromise with the reality after the French Revolution. In essence, he is also a Byronic hero. In addition to a few characters, there are elves and gods of fate who represent various forces of nature. They are romantic and mysterious. The long poem Prisoner of Si Long tells the story of Bonnie Wade, a pacifist and free thinker, who was imprisoned in Silongbao for six years in the 6th century. Unlike "Byronic hero", Bonnie Wade opposed tyranny and the fate of the people, and won the support and support of the people. Poetry praises the hero's indomitable spirit and attacks the cruelty of tyranny.
At the beginning of 1823, the Greek anti-soil struggle rose. Byron put down Don Juan, which he was writing, and resolutely went to Greece to participate in the armed struggle of the Greek people for freedom and independence. April 1824, died in the Greek army.
