	Byron's Biography: Don Juan and Byron's Existential Angst
		Byron's poetic idol was Pope (Bloom 1) and he felt that by attacking Pope, Byron's Romantic contemporaries "showed their neglect of the rules of propriety in verse, a neglect which carried over to the debasement of political and ethical ideas.
		Juan's role as the 'innocent' in Canto 1 differentiates him from the traditional Don Juan character: he is the conquered, not the conqueror" (Tate 96-7).
		Don Juan is Byron in a nutshell: as he was and as he wished humanity to be; a disillusioned yet continually idealistic portrait of mankind.

	§15. "Don Juan". II. Byron. Vol. 12. The Romantic Revival. The Cambridge History of English and American ...
		In Don Juan, the work upon which his literary powers were chiefly expended during his last five years in Italy (1818–23), Byron attains to the full disclosure of his personality and the final expression of his genius.
		Yet, Don Juan is a veritable Comédie Humaine, the work of a man who has stripped life of its illusions, and has learnt, through suffering and the satiety of pleasure, to look upon society with the searching eye of Chaucer and the pitilessness of Mephistopheles.
		Byron’s indebtedness to his Italian masters is almost as great in diction as in verse, but what he borrowed he made peculiarly his own; a bold imitator, he is himself in mitable.

	Gender Representation in Byron's Don Juan
		Byron is challenging the contemporary belief of clearly defined male and female roles, Don Juan attacking the notion of the female as upholder of the nation's morals.
		By introducing Don Juan into a situation whereby he is a woman's property and a sex slave, Byron implies a comment upon the widely accepted sexual oppression of women, however he does not go too far on this point and draws back before anything explicit is said.
		Byron believed in individuality and the cross dressing within the poem shows that he was not content to have a clear definition of the male and female role but believed in a capacity within the individual to over-ride such pre-defined categorization.

	English Literature 2: Byron, Don Juan
		Byron quoted and parodied distinct styles and genres, and his attention was directed to historically specific contexts – rather than a general notion of ‘life.’ Further, Byron’s use of irony had a clear object: the philosophical or metaphysical tendency to speak as if one were elevated above the forces of this world.
		Byron may have ridiculed the Romantic irony of pure elevation, but he also saw a destructiveness in a position that was only negative or unaware of the force and creativity of its own position.
		Byron does not just adopt a more lenient and complicit satirical tone, in the tradition of Horace; he is also critical of the cynicism that would reduce human life to force, rhetoric and persuasion.

		Therefore, Alfonso "was jealous, though he did not show it,/ For jealousy dislikes the world to know it." He must always be stealing furtive glances over his shoulder to protect his beloved Julia.
		Byron reinforces this point, saying "A real husband always is suspicious." Therefore, it is not in accordance with Bryon's practices and liberal lifestyle that he conveiniently "forgets the number" of the commandment prohibiting adultery.
		For Byron, biblical law does not serve as an obstacle to flourishing passion, which "dissembles yet betrays." The gushing of love is powerful enough to transcend the formal, and therefore "fake" institution of marriage which is no match for the sensual spark between Don Juan and Julia.

		Byron and his mother lived in Aberdeen until he was ten years-old, when as a result of his paternal great-uncle's (known as "The Wicked Lord") death in May of 1798, he became the sixth Baron Byron of Rochdale.
		When Byron finally discovered a poetical meter perfect for his voice and personality, the Italian ottava rima (as Byron employed it, eight 10-syllabled lines, rhyming abababcc) in which he wrote his masterpiece, Don Juan, the experience was exhilarating to him.
		It was Byron's misfortune that Don Juan was published at the dawn of the Victorian Age rather than at the close of the much more licentious 18th century, for Byron was reviled by his critics.

	"Whatever Happened to Don Juan?" (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Even within Byron's lifetime, unscrupulous publishers had printed many spurious "continuations" of the poem during breaks in the issue of the true Don Juan (Chew 131-35), but after his death, a veritable deluge of "conclusions" to Byron's poem appeared, many admittedly not genuine, but some pretending to be so (Coleridge 1013n.).
		Noel's conviction that Byron's works reflect himself is at least borne out by the fact that neither Don Juan nor Byron's life ran their full course; Death snatched the resolution of the poem away with its creator.
		Byron's Don Juan is a masterpiece, despite its loose construction, or perhaps partly because of it: the episodic, narrative flow gives it a lightness and fluidity that might not have been possible with a more rigid framework.

		Byron's poetry was read from a critical and philosophical position that during his own time he treated with utter contempt (McGann, "Private Poetry" 135).
		The dialogic and novelistic nature of Byron's epic is one that lends itself to a Bakhtinian analysis, particularly in relation to the Russian cantos where Byron offers an acute analysis of politics at Catherine's court and, in the process, sheds considerable light on what came to be referred to as "enlightened despotism" in that country.
		Byron's favourable reception in Russia on a wider scale, however, is indicated by the volume of his poetry that was translated in the nineteenth century.4 Vasily Zhukovsky's translation of The Prisoner of Chilian in 1822 inaugurated this tradition.

	CARO Biography: Byron
		Byron had “a peculiar smile on his lips; his eyes beamed the pleasure he felt from what was passing from his imagination to the page.” Dallas thought his friend so completely in love that he had practically entered another world (Dallas, Recollections of the Life of Lord Byron, 246-47).
		Again, normally, for Byron, women employ tears to gain their ends, and their target is his alter-ego, Don Juan, who (in a later canto) dissolves “like snow before a woman crying” (Don Juan 5.118 and 5.141).
		Byron’s affair with Lady Caroline Lamb and his reading of Glenarvon help account for certain elements of his masterpiece, Don Juan, from the dedication, in which he tries to dissociate himself from any Glenarvon-like betrayal of Irish Patriots, to certain aphorisms on sex and marriage.

	Don Byron \| Press
		“Among the many great things about Don Byron is the way he collapses the distinctions between high art and low, between generic formulas and avant attitude.
		Now Byron's returned with a non sequitur follow-up that goes to the once-hip, now-fading Latin jazz quarter, and brings to it so much new energy and fresh joy that he ends up reviving the genre and creating one of his most exhilarating albums.
		And with his latest, deceptively dry-titled album, he has solidified his reputation as a formidable composer, one capable of reconciling jazz’s conservative and avant-garde factions… Byrons’s stuff is sharp and intellectual, yet the fiery rhythms and maniacal blowing also make it irresistible on a visceral level.
