Extended information
"Don Juan" is Byron's most important group of poems. It is half solemn and half humorous, mixed with narrative and discussion. Relaxed and sarcastic writing. Chapters 1 and 2 immediately aroused a huge response after they were published anonymously.
British newspapers and periodicals that defended bourgeois decency attacked it in droves, accusing it of attacking religion and morality. It was a "satire on decency, good feelings and the code of conduct necessary to maintain society" and "made everyone The normal mind is disgusted,” etc.
But at the same time, it is also highly praised. Writer Walter Scott said that "Don Juan" is "as all-encompassing as Shakespeare. He covers every topic in life, plucks every string on the sacred piano, and plays the tiniest to the strongest and most soul-shaking words." "The poet Goethe said, ""Don Juan" is a work of complete genius - cynical to the point of desperate poignancy, tender to the most delicate and touching point of beautiful emotion..." . After writing the sixteenth chapter of "Don Juan", Byron was ready to devote himself to the national liberation movement of Greece.
