		Bronte's youthful age, however, did not preclude Byron and his works from having a profound effect on her and her writing; indeed, the "cult" of Lord Byron flourished shortly after his death "dominating [the Brontes'] girlhood and their young womanhood" (Bloom 2).

	The Byronic Hero \| Stein

		The Byronic Hero in Film, Fiction, and Television bridges nineteenth- and twentieth-century studies in pursuit of an ambitious, antisocial, arrogant, and aggressively individualistic mode of hero from his inception in Byron’s Manfred, Childe Harold, and Cain, through his incarnations as the protagonists of Westerns, action flicks, space odysseys, vampire novels, neo-Gothic comics, and sci-fi television.
		While audiences may not seek to emulate the Byronic hero, Stein notes that he desires to emulate them; recent texts plot to “rehumanize” the hero or to voice through him approbation and admiration of ordinary human values and experiences.

		Shelley's preface to "Julian and Maddalo" creates a portrait of a man that is clearly modeled on Byron or the Byronic hero: a nobleman who is aloof from society, of thwarted ambition lacking a worthy object of attainment, but who is nonetheless a magnetic character drawing others to him.
		Byron's heroes, however, were never meant to be role models or representatives of a country/nation.
