Book Synopsis Lord Byron and the History of Desire by : Ian Dennis
Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of Eric Gans and René Girard, novelist and literary scholar Dennis (U. of Ottawa) contends that British poet Byron (1788-1824) changed his ideas about what could and should be desired during the course of his writing career. He considers victory and defeat in the eastern tales, heroic victimhood in Prometheus and The Prisoner of Chillon, Byron's sincerity, and the market in Don Juan. Only names and titles are indexed.
