What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
An early edition. Originally published between 1819 and 1824.
Bound in the publisher's original boards, with cloth reinforcements.
This volume contains Cantos I to VI.
'Don Juan' is Lord Byron's satirical epic poem, an important feat of Romantic poetry. Byron portrays Don Juan as a man easily seduced by women, rather than a womaniser. The character, but not the plot, is taken from the legendary Spanish libertine figure.
Byron's poem is written in ottava rima across sixteen cantos. Upon the publication of the first cantos in 1819 the poem was criticized as immoral.
