Features: Lord Byron is known as the "Devil Poet" in the history of British literature. His letters are unadorned self-portraits: unrestrained personality, tempestuous passion, inner arrogance and loneliness, which led to his spirit being sentenced to eternal exile. At last, we once again appreciate the eternal value of the old adages "Poetry comes from melancholy" and "Poetry comes from anger." This selected collection of letters spans Byron's entire life, from his youth to the night he bid farewell to the world. Through these letters, we can directly enter the poet's private world, experiencing his anger at breaking away from the British aristocratic society and the loneliness of wandering in foreign lands. At the same time, following the poet's wandering footsteps, we can also see the customs and cultures of Europe and Asia, and feel the trends of the European bourgeois democratic movement and the national liberation struggles of the era.
