Source BEIC.George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, generally called Lord Byron [lɔːd ˈbaɪɹən][1], was a British poet, born on January 22, 1788 in London and died on April 19, 1824 in Missolonghi, Greece, then under Ottoman rule. He is one of the most illustrious poets in the literary history of the English language. Although classical in taste, he represents one of the great figures of Romanticism in the English language, with William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats[2]. He wanted to be an orator in the House of Lords, but it is his melancholic and semi-autobiographical poems that made him famous: Hours of Idleness, and especially Childe Harold, inspired by his trip to the Orient, the piece is dated 1899.
