  Byron's poetry took Europe by storm in the early nineteenth century and the poems which made him a star are here represented by a selection of the early lyrics, including still popular pieces such as 'She walks in beauty' and 'We'll go a no more a-roving'. But Byron's real talent was for comedy. He is the greatest comic poet of the Romantic movement and his comic verse is here represented by Beppo, A Vision Of Judgement and selections from his greatest masterpiece, Don Juan, which satirizes the very reputation for amourous adventures which helped to make Byron himself famous.
