Better than I expected it to be, though inclined to accept as fact what in strict terms must be considered speculation, and straining too hard to make Byron "relevant" (calling him the first rap artist!)--is that really necessary? Read "Don Juan"--of COURSE he's relevant. ( )
Byron's beautifully turned verses were like pamphlets or wall posters, lampooning the nobs and inciting contempt for their rule. Eisler, whose book will I think be the one to beat for many decades to come, is especially artful and dexterous in matching the poetry to he life and the ideas. She is alive to the essential connection between the sexual outlaw and the professional revolutionary. Prijzen
