 | Poems by Alexander Brome, Peter Washington, Roman R. Dubinski
One of the most influential figures of his time, Byron was the epitome of the Romantic movement: colorful, extreme, rebellious, and enormously talented. His poetry, however, was more neoclassical than strictly romantic ; his work, in fact, was distinctly old-fashioned in its day, often reminiscent of the 18th-century witty, satirical style as well as of other venerable poetic traditions such as Cavalier poetry and Elizabethan lyrics. All his poems, however, reflect his lust for living, his constant quest for intensity, and his well-furnished intellect. AUTHOR: Alexander Brome, Peter Washington, Roman R. Dubinski
