Uh ... Byron's life and major works?

1. Byron's life: January 22, 1788, George? 6? ? 1 Gordon? 6? Byron was born in a rented humble house in London, England. Byron was born in an old and declining aristocratic family. It is said to be ancient because the Byron family came to England from Normandy with William the Conqueror earlier. In the Crusade in the 16th century, they made outstanding achievements, and were rewarded by the king and made lords. Byron, who was still a baby, never imagined that at the age of 1, he would become the owner of the hereditary territory of Newstead. John, the father of the poet Byron? 6? Byron, who was educated in the French Army School when he was young, became a bodyguard officer of the British Army after graduation. He is violent, rude, likes to drink and gamble, and owes huge debts. Shortly after he returned to London from the United States at the age of 2, he abducted Marquise Calmather and squandered the annual income of 4, pounds that Marquise inherited from her father. However, 4 pounds can't maintain his luxurious life and huge gambling debts. They had to leave England and flee to France. There she gave birth to her daughter Augusta, the poet Byron's half-sister, the closest friend of Byron's life, who had an important influence on Byron's life and creation. Shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Marquise Calmather died of illness. The prodigal son who lost 4 pounds quietly returned to England and took a fancy to a Scottish aristocratic family named Catherine? 6? 1 Gordon's girl, although she is not good-looking, has 23, pounds of property-3, pounds of which is cash-which is too tempting for him to be a romantic (11) because it can pay off the gambling debts in the past. In May 1784, they got married in Bath Hot Springs. This lady was Byron's mother. The newlyweds returned to Gordon's home in North Scotland, but his gambling, good wine and wandering life soon squandered the property of Gordon's family. The couple sold their land and property, moved to France, and lived in poverty day by day. In the summer of 1787, pregnant John? 6? Mrs Byron returned to London single because she missed her hometown. This frugal Scottish woman rented a house in a street in London and settled down, but her husband was still wandering in France to avoid debts. When he had no money, he often wrote to his wife who was not well off. When Byron was 3 years old, his father finally died in a poor situation of "no shirt, no penny, and the only dress was already riddled with holes". It is said that he committed suicide. The death of her husband was a heavy blow to her wife. In addition, the increasingly poor life and her own misfortune made Byron's mother's character very grumpy and moody. Byron spent his childhood in northern Scotland with his bad-tempered mother in poverty. Byron is lame. There are two ways to cause this disability, one is born; On the other hand, because his mother was cruel, she was so angry that she beat him like this. Besides, Byron can be said to be a beautiful boy. He has clear eyes, brown curly hair and fair skin. People like him very much. Byron, in particular, has a good voice and a very pleasant voice. Therefore, in Cambridge University, his classmates called him "a gentleman with a good voice". Only the physical defect of lameness often makes him feel inferior and miserable. When he was young, whenever he walked in the street, he would always hear people talking about him like this: "Oh, what a beautiful child, but it's a pity that he is lame." Byron immediately blushed at this moment, thinking that the speaker had insulted himself, he wiped his tears and said loudly, "Don't you say that about me!" " One side pounced on the other. When Byron was four and a half years old, he was sent to Aberdeen School. He is studious, intelligent and has a good memory, but he is as naughty as all children, and sometimes he plays some practical jokes. His kindness, integrity and loyalty were quickly loved by his friends, but his sometimes friendly and sometimes violent temper surprised them. "A very likable child, but difficult to control," a teacher once commented on him. In addition to studying at school, his mother also hired a tutor in history and Latin for him, and Byron's historical addiction was formed from this time. He is precocious and likes reading all kinds of books, especially history books. He often implores his mother to borrow historical story books about Rome, Greece and Turkey from the public library. Whenever night falls, Byron Jr. goes to read and think with novelty, sweetness and a little terror, and wanders and lingers in the long history. The brilliant military achievements of the ancients have aroused Byron's inner heroic dreams many times. He once said to his friends, "I will one day assemble an army. The soldiers will be dressed in black and ride red horses. They will be called Byron's black cavalry." You will certainly hear our amazing miracle. " Byron would never have thought that this miracle really appeared 3 years later. He really became the commander-in-chief of a Greek allied army, accompanied by a helmet, a sword and a black cloak to the end of his life. Byron is an intelligent student, but he doesn't study hard and his grades are not outstanding, but he reads a lot of books. He later recalled: "People never saw me reading, always lazy, playing tricks or playing games. In fact, I read at dinner, in bed, when no one is reading, and I have read all the books since I was five years old." After reading the Bible, Byron became interested in the mysterious and legendary eastern world, and he especially liked Arabian Arabian Nights. In school, Byron is famous not only for being good at talking and reading widely, but also for his aggressiveness. Whenever someone laughs at his disability and bullies him, he can always beat his opponent with great courage. If he gets hit once, he is sure to pay back twice. This kind of courage and struggle is the greatest feature of his life. Byron claimed that he had no religious belief all his life, but at an early age he was deeply influenced by his Latin tutor, a devout Calvinist. In Byron's childhood mind, he was infused with Calvinism day and night, and the belief of taking pains for pleasure penetrated into the deepest part of Byron's personality. Byron's nanny may? 6? Gray is also enthusiastic about religion, and often tells him about gods, heaven, hell and other things, and those impressions will naturally remain in his mind. The influence of this religion can be seen in his later masterpiece Manfred. In 1798, the master of Neustad, known as the "evil Lord", Byron's great-uncle and heir died one after another. According to the hereditary system of title at that time, Byron Jr. became the sixth generation Lord at the age of 1. The next day, when he went to the school to take part in the roll call, the headmaster no longer called him "Byron", but addressed him as "Lord Byron". He should have answered the word "to", but he choked up at this time, and then he cried with a "wow". In the autumn of this year, Byron, his mother and nanny left Aberdeen, where they had lived for many years, and set off for Newstead Manor to accept his estate. In 181, in order to match Byron's aristocratic status and status, the family decided to send him to a prestigious school-Harrow Public School. This place was built in 1571 by John? 6? The school founded by Lynn has cultivated many famous figures in British history, among which Prime Minister Churchill, who worships Byron very much, graduated from this school. This year, Byron was 13 years old. Joseph, then president of Harrow College? 6? In his study, Drewry received this talented and handsome noble boy with a disabled leg. After talking, the headmaster immediately found out: "I was given a pony that was used to being wild in the mountains." However, from his eyes, he is thoughtful. " In the days of Harrow College, Byron didn't study hard in formal classroom as always, but at the critical moment, he was able to write thirty or forty Latin rhymes with a stroke of a pen. He is not interested in textbooks, but he is keen on reading after class and reading extensively, thus gaining rich knowledge. "Lazy and knowledgeable" is the characteristic of his middle school days. Young and mature Byron has also begun to pay attention to society and the times. Nottingham, where Neustad is located, is not only famous for its feudal medieval monuments and the legend of Robin Hood's outlaw, but also the great industrial center of Britain at that time, the earliest region from the industrial revolution and one of the most important birthplaces of the workers' movement. When Byron was very young, he heard of the first strike by Nottingham workers who destroyed machines. Byron grew up in a period of great transformation in the history of Britain and the world. He was born in the vigorous French Revolution and the magnificent struggle for independence, freedom and liberation that followed. He witnessed various incidents such as worker riots, peasant uprisings and soldier mutinies caused by the intensification of class contradictions. Byron was keenly aware that he was a man of the revolutionary era in which life and society were changing and developing. In his letter to Scott on May 4, 1822, he said: "We live in a great era. When everything succumbs to evil forces on a large scale, everything in the individual seems to be insignificant." This is the feeling and impression of Byron's youth. Byron has been longing to participate in social activities since he was a student. When he was in Harrow College, he was addicted to practicing his speech. On April 2, 187, he wrote to his guardian John? 6? A letter from Hansen said that an orator is far better than a poet. At the same time, he said that if he is currently engaged in writing poetry, it will be temporary, because he is not yet an adult and cannot participate in political activities. Byron studied the parliamentary debates from the 17th century to the 18th century with great interest. In 187, among the books he recorded, political science and history accounted for a large proportion. Byron also widely read the works of Enlightenment and materialist philosophy, such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Locke and others, which Byron highly admired. Byron, full of fantasy, often came to the church on the top of Harrow Mountain alone with these books under his arm, surrounded by a graveyard. Byron sat on a tombstone under the big elm tree, reading and meditating. This is a quiet corner, the wind is blowing gently, the leaves are rustling, and Byron's thoughts can float far and far ... Byron left England forever in April 1816, and a biographer said that he was "driven out of the country, his wallet and heart were ruined, and he left and never came back; But after he left, he found new inspiration next to the rapids of the Jon River and wrote works that made his name immortal under the Italian sky. " In 1816, Byron lived in Switzerland, and met another exiled poet Shelley in Geneva. Their hatred of British rule and their love for poetry made them close friends. During his stay abroad, Byron wrote Childe Hallor's Travels (1816-1817), the story poem The Prisoner of the Theron (1816), the tragedy Manfred (1817) and the long poem The Bronze Century (1823). The magnum opus Don Juan is Byron's most important group of poems, which is half-poetic, half-harmonious, half-narrative and half-discussion, with realistic content and strange, relaxed and satirical brushwork. After the first and second chapters were published anonymously, they immediately caused great repercussions. British newspapers defending bourgeois decency rose up and attacked it, accusing it of attacking religion and morality, which was "a mockery of decency, good feelings and the code of conduct necessary for maintaining society" and "disgusting to every normal mind", and so on. But at the same time, it is also highly praised. The writer Walter Scott said that Don Juan is "as comprehensive as Shakespeare, he covers every topic of life, plucks every string on the sacred piano, and plays the smallest, strongest and most shocking tune." The poet Goethe said, "Don Juan is a work of complete genius-cynical to the point of desperate acrimony, gentle to the point of delicate and touching beautiful feelings ...". After the sixteenth chapter of Don Juan was written, Byron was ready to devote himself to the national liberation movement in Greece. This is the last and most glorious page of the poet's life. He hated both the oppression of European nations by holy alliance and the Greek rule by Turkey. In 1824, Byron was busy preparing for war. Unfortunately, he was caught in the rain and suffered from cold. He could not afford to get sick and died on April 19. His death deeply grieved the Greek people, and the whole country mourned for 21 days. 2.
