Assembled by the distinguished scholar and biographer Peter Quennell, Byron: Selections from Poetry, Letters and Journal gathers some of the most electrifying verse, intimate correspondence, and candid journal entries the nineteenth century produced, offering readers direct, unmediated access to Byron's restless, brilliant mind.\n\nQuennell's editorial hand is both authoritative and sympathetic, allowing Byron's own voice — sardonic, passionate, self-lacerating, and sublime — to carry the reader through the turbulent landscapes of his inner and outer life. The selection illuminates the grand rhetorical sweep of works such as Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan alongside the raw, confessional energy of his private writings, illustrating the complex interplay between the man and the myth. For scholars, poetry lovers, and the merely curious alike, this collection serves as a compelling reminder that Byron's contradictions are precisely what make him immortal — and utterly irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203230736603,"sku":"2026100009823-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8a8a6769-219e-4363-b863-74e5d73575dc.png?v=1788146310","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009823-secondhand-byron-selections-from-poetry-letters-and-journal","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
