George Gordon Byron (1788 65438+1October 22nd-1824 April 19) was a great English romantic poet in the early 9th century, and created a number of "Byronic heroes" in his poems. He is not only a great poet, but also a fighter who struggled for his ideals all his life. He actively and bravely participated in the revolution-participated in the Greek national liberation movement and became one of the leaders.

During his stay abroad, Byron wrote Childe Harold's Travels (1816-18 17), a story poem The Prisoner of Xilong and a tragedy Manfred (18/kloc). Don Juan, the representative work, is Byron's most important group of poems, which is half-poetic and half-harmonic, narrative, realistic in content, unique and relaxed in style. After the first and second chapters were published anonymously, they immediately caused great repercussions. The British newspapers and periodicals that defended the bourgeois decency rose up and attacked it, accusing it of attacking religion and morality, which was "a mockery of decency, kindness and the code of conduct necessary for maintaining society" and "disgusted every normal mind" and so on.
Unfortunately, 1824, he got caught in the rain, caught a cold and couldn't get sick. He died on April 65438, 2009. His death deeply grieved the Greek people. The Greek independent government declared Byron's death a state funeral and the whole country mourned for three days. On June 29th, the coffin arrived in London.
