Publisher's Synopsis
Byron and Byronism in America is a book written by William Ellery Leonard and published in 1905. The book is a comprehensive study of the influence of the famous English poet, Lord Byron, on American literature and culture during the 19th century. Leonard explores how Byron's poetry and persona captured the imagination of American writers, intellectuals, and readers, and how his ideas and themes were adapted and reinterpreted in the American context. The book covers a range of topics, including the reception of Byron's works in America, the emergence of a ""Byronism"" in American literature, the role of Byron in shaping American attitudes towards love, sex, and death, and the impact of his political and social ideas on American society. Leonard's analysis is based on extensive research and draws on a wide range of sources, including literary texts, diaries, letters, and contemporary reviews. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American literature and culture, as well as the reception of British Romanticism in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
