  §9. "Childe Harold". II. Byron. Vol. 12. The Romantic Revival. The Cambridge History of English and American ...
The surprising success of the first two cantos of Childe Harold on their first appearance in 1812 was in no small measure due to the originality of the design, and to Byron’s extension of the horizon of romance.
When Childe Harold was begun at Janina in Albania, in 1809, the hero may well have seemed to his creator as an imaginary figure; but, between the composition of the first two cantos and the third, there intervened for Byron a course of experiences which converted what was ideal and imaginary into bitter reality.
Disfigured as the stanzas of Childe Harold often are by jarring discords, it must be confessed that this ambitious measure assumed, in Byron’s hands, remarkable vigour, while its elaborately knit structure saved him from the slipshod movement which is all too common in his blank verse.

 Childe Harold's Pilgrimage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem by the English poet George Gordon, Lord Byron, published between 1812 and 1818.
The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands; in a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras.
Childe Harold became a vehicle for Byron's own beliefs and ideas; indeed in the preface to book three Byron acknowledges the fact that his hero is just an extension of himself.

 Harold en Italie
Harold en Italie is the central artifact of Berlioz's Prix de Rome sojourn, though in many ways Italy lies at the core of a good half of everything he wrote, from La Captive (Subiaco, February 1832) to both Les Troyens and Béatrice et Bénédict at the end of his career.
Harold en Italie's hero, of course, is Berlioz himself: he had already described the vistas, pilgrim's march, and mountaineer's serenade in a string of articles that began in 1832 (later absorbed into his Voyage musical en Allemagne et en Italie, 1843, one of the primary sources for the Mémoires, 1870).
The rhythmic fabric of Harold reaches one of its peaks in the three-way réunion des thèmes of the Abruzzi serenade, movement III, a passage of which the composer was proud enough to cite it in his Grand Traité d'instrumentation et d'orchestration modernes of 1843.

 Berlioz Harold in Italy
The first large-scale reflection of his Italian experiences is the symphony Harold in Italy, composed in 1834 at the suggestion of Paganini and first performed later that year at the Conservatoire.
Harold’s melancholy is free from anguish, and even the concluding Orgy of Brigands has none of the nightmarish quality of the Witches Sabbath in the earlier symphony.
The theme of Harold – re-used by Berlioz together with other music from his discarded overture Rob-Roy – is foreshadowed in the minor key in the first movement (bar 14 and following) before its statement in the major by the solo viola (bar 38 and following).

Harold’s first two cantos are thus a presage of Byronic things to come, for they are a first step down a path that will lead Byron to a complete repudiation of the notion of stable, reliable knowledge eight years later, in Don Juan.
Harold, in short, stood as a symbol of something much larger than himself: the upper classes that were held up as a model for those who hoped to achieve greater discernment.
Sometimes the Childe forgets (accidentally, we believe) the heartstruck melancholy of his temper, and deviates into a species of pleasantry which, to say the truth, appears to us very flippant and very unworthy of the person to whom it is attributed.

Childe Harold basked him in the noontide sun, Disporting there like any other fly, Nor deemed before his little day was done One blast might chill him into misery.
The Childe departed from his father's hall; It was a vast and venerable pile; So old, it seemed only not to fall, Yet strength was pillared in each massy aisle.
Childe Harold had a mother--not forgot, Though parting from that mother he did shun; A sister whom he loved, but saw her not Before his weary pilgrimage begun: If friends he had, he bade adieu to none.

 Sense of Place and Displacement in Lord Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
My reading of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, a work of four cantos and more than four thousand lines, is going to be a consideration of the work as whole, not going into fine distinctions, if there are some, among the cantos.
The next point to be taken up, when such is the case with the Byronic hero, is whether Childe Harold is a persona or a projection of Byron himself and the implications and consequences that follow.
First, there is some glow that he receives, being mixed with Childe Harold the persona; thus, this is also part of the reason why he proposes a persona.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
Childe Harold is Byron's longest poem after the comic epic Don Juan.
Byron wrote in his preface that he created the character of Childe Harold “for the sake of giving some connexion to the piece”, but the poem's first readers saw Harold as a version of Byron and indeed in the earliest manuscripts he is called “Childe Burun”.
Harold is jaded and misanthropic, while the narrator is more impressed by the sights the poem visits and is sometimes given to ironic moralising about Harold's boredom.

 New Statesman - 1964 - Childe Harold
I think I first met Harold Wilson in 1954, when he was then, among other things, the honorary president of the Oxford University Labour Club.
One of the difficulties, however, in writing about Harold Wilson is that he never does vary the record.
It is almost as if he had decided what part of him shall be in the public domain and ensures that it is stuck to by the simple expedient of repeating the same stories about himself over and over again.
