Backdrop

Byron

Byron revolutionized English poetry and died a hero. He became famous overnight when the poetic record of his adventures abroad was received with rapture. This rich historical drama explores the true identity of the wild poetic genius who broke every taboo in the book. Byron's affairs and his unconventionality, however, were always destined to bring him down.
