Lord Byron was a British Romantic poet and satirist whose poetry and personality captured the imagination of Europe, making him one of the first great literary celebrities. Although made famous by the autobiographical poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812–18)—and his many love affairs—he is perhaps better known today for the satiric realism of Don Juan (1819–24), which recounts the adventures of the famed fictional Spanish libertine.
