Biographical note
Dr Alan Rawes is Senior Lecturer in Romanticism at The University of Manchester.
’...a thoughtful and intelligent study.’ The Byron Journal '... the theme of Byron's oedipal struggle with and transcendence of Wordsworth's influence is (...) a fascinating and worthwhile lens with which to scrutinize the poet's early career. Throughout the readings of individual poems are detailed and thought-provoking, and make a case for reassessing the traditional view of Byron's verse as always in contrast with canonical British Romanticism.' Notes and Queries '... a sharp and intelligent study of Byron's experimentation which begins by reminding the reader, correctly, that Byron's versatility makes him a far more ambitious poet then most, and, further, that he is a more impressive poet than is commonly acknowledged.' The Year's Work in English Studies
