	George Gordon Byron Life by E. H. Coleridge
		His wife's impression was that Byron "had avowedly begun his revenge from the first." It is certain that before the child was born his conduct was so harsh, so violent, and so eccentric, that she believed, or tried to persuade herself, that he was mad.
		Byron told Moore that the memoranda were not "confessions," that they were "the truth but not the whole truth." This, no doubt, was the truth, and the whole truth.
		Byron at once offered money and advice, and after some hesitation on the score of health, determined "to go to Greece." His first step was to sell the "Bolivar" to Lord Blessington, and to purchase the "Hercules," a collier-built tub of 120 tons.

	Lord Byron Overview
		Byron was unique among Romantic poets in that he respected the neoclassical poets and sought, to some degree, to emulate them.
		In "Beppo," Byron abandoned the Popean couplet he had used in previous satires, but he used a Popean structure; that is, he satirically juxtaposed the lofty with the absurd, the pretentious with the trivial.
		Byron claimed it was "a satire on abuses of the present states of Society, and not an eulogy of vice."

	Biography, life and poems by Lord Byron, an important British poet of the 19th century
		Upon succeeding to the title of Lord Byron, the youth was sent to the school at Dulwich, and from thence to Harrow.
		This was Byron's first literary battle, and he could have said, as did the hero of Lake Erie, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." With the wreath of triumph still fresh on his brow, the young lord started, in 1809, for a tour of the continent.
		In many respects Byron's life is but a repetition of the life of Burns,--the one a lord, the other a peasant, but both singularly brilliant and yet unfortunate; loved and yet despised, and both dying from excesses in the very prime of life.

		George Gordon, 6th Lord Byron, was the son of Captain John "Mad Jack" Byron (1756-91) and his second wife Catherine Gordon of Gight (d.1811) whom he married for her money (around GBP 25,000) in 1785 and whose fortune he promptly set about ravaging.
		Byron was a mere three-and-a-half when his prodigal father died, and six when through the death in action in Corsica of the direct heir to the Byron title, he became its heir presumptive.
		Turbulent marriage and numerous bi-sexual amours underline the extent to which his "Mad Jack" and "Wicked Lord" antecedents were foregrounded in an extraordinary personality in which the pride of his Gordon blood and the liberal sympathies of his mother played their part.

		Byron, too, suffers from a lingering humanity, a malaise wrought from the vampire's insatiable need to drink human blood, which fuses explosively with the erotic pleasure derived therefrom.
