Childe Harold's Pilgrimage | George Gordon Byron Baron Byron

Lord Byron is one of my favorite romantic poets and I love this 1936 edition of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. However, I don't know why the picture page of Lord Byron is white when the rest of the book's pages are yellow.

Lcsmcat I don‘t know the science behind it, but the glossy pages used for photos don‘t yellow like the rougher paper the words are printed on in any of my old books. 6y
CSeydel I would guess that the polymers that give it the glossy finish might protect it from oxygen? And oxygen reacting with the cellulose and lignin is what causes the yellowing. I think. 6y
Linsy He‘s timeless. 😆 I love this edition!!! 😍 (edited) 6y
PirateJenny Gorgeous edition. He is one of my favorites too 6y

Harold seems like a thinly veiled excuse to tell what Byron himself has seen. It is a reflection of places he sees, of the struggle between freedom and tyranny, the Napoleonic wars and characteristic traits of the places he visits. It is also a celebration of the past as it expresses itself in ruins and memorials. In that sense Byron is more tourist than anthropologist.
Stylistically impressive, but large parts were just pathos topped with pathos.

On Rousseau‘s influence on revolutions:
“For then he was inspired, and from him came,
As from the Pythian‘s mystic cave of yore,
These oracles which set the world in flame;
Nor ceased to burn till kingdoms were no more.”
