A Poet Larger than Poetry—Commemorating the Bicentennial of Byron's Death
The present article pays homage to the English Romantic poet Byron in this bicentennial year of his death.It addresses his writerly personality in a multidimensional perspective,with a view to showing what makes this English poet a so-called"citizen of the world,"or how the poet strives to project a personal image larger than poetry as well as life.The comparative cultural perspective used in a certain part of the article is believed to be particularly conducive to our examination of Byron's trans-regional mindset and creative activity.It also allows us to acquire some understanding of how Byron has been received by foreign readers in their own cultural context.A case in point is the so-called"The Isles of Greece"section in Byron's masterpiece Don Juan.
