But He Talked of the Temple of Man’s Body
This poetic study is a response to Locke’s philosophy through an analysis of Blake’s linguistic practices. It reads like a narrative of an effort to build, destroy, and rebuild, revealing Blake’s criticism of Locke as a critique of modernity itself.
Byron and Bob
Byron’s most important literary relationship was with Robert Southey, whom he hated and to whom he “dedicated” his masterpiece, *Don Juan*. This book argues Byron’s literary distaste became a projected self-distrust, a dislike for his own flaws.
Byron is often thought of as the Romantic poet most familiar with the East. This book examines this thesis, looking at Byron’s knowledge of the East and its religions, his Turkish Tales, his influence on Pushkin, and his own disorientated existence.
Byron and Scott
Though traditionally seen as opposites, the writers Scott and Byron cherished a lifelong friendship. This study reveals how Scott’s invention of the historical novel was crucial to Byron’s later work, shaping the evolution of the Byronic Hero and Byron himself.
This comparative exploration of Bryon and Pope’s satirical portraits of men and women, their expression of love and forbidden passion, and their various poetic techniques shows the profound influence Pope had on the deepest recesses of Byron’s poetic thought.

Peter Cochran’s book charts Byron’s profound influence on European literature, arguing that it was a mythical Byron who held sway. Europe’s writers embraced the gloomy Byronic Hero, ignoring his satirical best, until Eliot, Joyce, and Yeats read him accurately.
Byron’s Temperament
This edited volume is the first to draw together dominant strains in critical thinking about Byron’s temperament and behaviour, using discourses and paradigms drawn from various disciplines, including literary studies, history of medicine, behaviourism, and cultural studies.
Byron’s dubious status as an icon disguises that he is one of the greatest English poets. This book ignores his iconography and concentrates on his poems. Written by leading authorities, it puts his real achievement as a creative writer back into focus.
