Revue de presse

'I woke up one morning and found myself famous',Byron recalled after the publication in 1812 of the first two cantos of his versified travelogue, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, fruit of a two-year grand tour. Until then he had been despised as a dissolute show-off; suddenly he was the toast of literary society. Byron's remarkable portrait of Spain, Albania and Greece as they were during the Napoleonic wars is laced with tips on seduction ( Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare ), political satire and rapture about literature, landscape, architecture and dashing national attire. The poem was completed in 1818, extended with reflections on Waterloo and a melancholic elegy on Italy's decline. Written to be listened to in Regency drawing rooms to the flutter of fans and cocked lorgnettes, there is no better way of experiencing it than Jamie Parker's beautifully judged performance. --- Christina Hardyment, The Times

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy epic poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe". The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands.
