Full Description
Byron and Bob is dedicated to the most important literary relationship in Byron's career—that with the Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, whom he hated, and to whom he "dedicated" his most important poem, Don Juan.
Drawing on much-unseen manuscript material, Peter Cochran shows that although Byron's antipathy towards Southey was at first a normal literary distaste, it became a projected self-distrust, a dislike of everything in himself with which he was unhappy.
This second edition contains the two Visions of Judgement, Southey's original and Byron's travesty, as well as a new foreword by John Gardner, Professor of English Literature and Dean of the Doctoral School at Anglia Ruskin University.
