The Works of Lord Byron. Vol. 5
Poetry
The fifth volume of Ernest Hartley Coleridge's edition of Byron's poetry, published in 1901, gathers the dramatic works of the poet's last years in Italy, 1821 to 1823. It contains Sardanapalus, the tragedy of the pleasure-loving Assyrian king; The Two Foscari, on a Venetian doge forced to condemn his own son; Cain, the mystery play dedicated to Walter Scott that caused outrage for its sympathetic treatment of the first murderer; Heaven and Earth, a second mystery on the loves of angels before the Flood; and Werner, the one play of Byron's to succeed on the stage. The editor's introductions and notes trace sources, composition and reception. The preface points out how seldom these works have been read. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first act is free.
