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.
