Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is an extensive narrative poem divided into four cantos, written by Lord Byron. This book, published by S.A.P.E. in 2006, is part of the 'Jewels of Romantic Literature' collection. The work describes the travels and reflections of a young man weary of the world, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and delight, while enjoying the landscapes of foreign lands. Broadly speaking, it is a melancholic and disillusioning expression of a generation tired of the post-revolutionary wars and the Napoleonic era.
George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, was a British poet. He was one of the major figures of the Romantic movement, and is regarded as being among the greatest British poets. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narratives Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage; many of his shorter lyrics in Hebrew Melodies also became popular.
