内容記述2 | Lord Byron (1788-1824) has been generally qualified as one of the representative poets of the English Romanticism for his enthusiasm and cold sneer denouncing hypocrisy and prejudices in those days, or so-called Byronism, and as his great influence upon the literature of the European countries. But, at first, his unrestrained poetical style and exoticism being served with ennui and longing, suited the taste of the times, and thesefore made him have a very good reputation at his early age, and at his death, he ended his life of 36 years as a commander of the volunteer army for independence of Greece.
The purpose of this study is, by following his mind's locus, to serch what aroused his action,and to show that they were his escape from ennui, his liberation from self-hatred through his soul's purification, and, in conclusion, the revolutionary cause to attain the two. And it, further, reveals his mind's oscillation just before his death. |
