Summary
"This Penguin Classic, based on the landmark Murray edition of 1832-4, is the only widely available selection to include Byron's own notes on the same page as the poetry. It contains the complete texts of many longer works including Sardanapalus and Childe Harold. The editors provide a new introduction for this edition, full explanatory notes, a bibliography, a biographical sketch and a detailed chronology of Byron's life and work."--BOOK JACKET.
