Byron is the original /lit/ rock star and, in fact, is the origin of celebrity culture as we know it.

What do you think /lit/ would look like if the rules of the board were followed and the board was moderated?

>'Tis poetry—at least by his assertion,

>Byron fucks and destroys 12-13 y/o pussy.
>Bravo my Lord, what a Gentleman

>Prince Andrew sexes a 14 year old
>Oh no, sick fuck

Why is this?

I want to embrace my inner romantic, that is embrace my powerful masculine feelings and dreams
Where do I get started?
I am thinking about getting a good edition of Byron and the everyman's library edition of Goethe.
Any suggestions for Byron? I am not very intelligent and don't have many insightful thoughts of analyses about the texts I'm reading.

>George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, FRS (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), simply known as Lord Byron, was an English poet and peer. One of the leading figures of the Romantic movement, Byron is regarded as one of the greatest English poets. He remains widely read and influential. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage; many of his shorter lyrics in Hebrew Melodies also became popular.
>He travelled extensively across Europe, especially in Italy, where he lived for seven years in the cities of Venice, Ravenna, and Pisa. During his stay in Italy he frequently visited his friend and fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later in life Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire and died leading a campaign during that war, for which Greeks revere him as a folk hero. He died in 1824 at the age of 36 from a fever contracted after the First and Second Siege of Missolonghi.
>His only legitimate child, Ada Lovelace, is regarded as a founding figure in the field of computer programming based on her notes for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. Byron's extramarital children include Allegra Byron, who died in childhood, and possibly Elizabeth Medora Leigh, daughter of his half-sister Augusta Leigh.

> Dear Mamma,
> I am very glad to hear you are well, I am so myself thank God, upon my word I did not expect so long a Letter from you however I will answer it as well as I can. Mrs. Parkyns & the rest are well and are much obliged to you for the present. Mr. Rogers could attend me every night at a separate hour from the Miss Parkyns’s, & I am astonished you do not acquiesce in this scheme which would keep me in mind of what I have almost entirely forgot, I recommend this to you because if some plan of this kind is not adopted I shall be called or rather branded with the name of a dunce which you know I could never bear. I beg you will consider this plan seriously & I will lend it all the assistance in my power. I Shall be very glad to see the letter you talk of & I have time just to say I hope every body is well at Newstead
> & remain your affectionate son,
> Byron

O Plato! Plato! you have paved the way,
With your confounded fantasies, to more
Immoral conduct by the fancied sway
Your system feigns o’er the controulless core
Of human hearts, than all the long array
Of poets and romancers:—You ‘re a bore,
A charlatan, a coxcomb—and have been,
At best, no better than a go-between.

do you like byron's letters?

Byron's life is more interesting than anything he wrote.

Any anthologies or critical texts that can help me really understand the various literary movements (romantic, modernist, neoclassical, postmodern etc.)?
