Lord Byron was an English poet and a leading figure in the Romantic movement. Born in 1798, he was celebrated as much for his scandalous private life as for his enduring poetry. A prolific writer, he is famous for his long narrative poetical works and remains one of the most influential contributors to literature. Here you will find extracts from his greatest works. The Life Lessons series from The School of Life takes a great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to ordinary everyday dilemmas. These books emphasise ways in which wise voices from the past have urgently important and inspiring things to tell us. This book is introduced and edited by Matthew Bevis, lecturer and English fellow of Keble College, Oxford, and the author of The Art of Eloquence: Byron, Tennyson, Joyce.

Matthew Bevis, Books, Fiction and Literature, Wordsworth's Fun, “The next day Wordsworth arrived from Bristol at Coleridge’s cottage…. He answered in some degree to his friend’s description of him, but was more quaint and Don Quixote-like.” These words from William Hazlitt present a Wordsworth who differs from the one we know—and as Matthew Bevis argues in his radical new reading of the poet, a Wordsworth who owed his quixotic creativity to a profound feeling for comedy. Wordsworth’s Fun takes us on a journey through the poet’s debts to the ludic and the ludicrous in classical tradition; his reading and reworking of Ariosto, Erasmus, and Cervantes; his engagement with forms of English poetic humor; and his love of comic prose. Bevis travels many untrodden ways, examining the relationship between Wordsworth’s metrical practice and his interest in laughing gas, his fascination with pantomime, his investment in the figure of the fool, and his response to discussions about the value of play. Intrepid, immersive, and entertaining, Wordsworth’sFun not only sheds fresh light on debates about the causes, aims, and effects of humor, but also on the contribution of Wordsworth’s peculiar humor to the shaping of the modern poetic experiment. .
