Publisher's Synopsis

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by George Gordon Byron.The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.It is a long four-part narrative poem written by Lord Byron. The poem was published between 1812 and 1818. Dedicated to "Ianthe", it describes the travels and reflections of a young man tired of the world, who is disappointed with a life of pleasure and joy and seeks distraction in foreign lands. In a broader sense, it is an expression of felt melancholy and disillusionment for a generation tired of the wars of the post-revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young candidate for chivalry.The poem was widely imitated and contributed to the cult of the wandering hero Byronic who falls into melancholic reverie while contemplating scenes of natural beauty
