Beskrivning

"Don Juan", Byron's best poem, is a sensational radical satire. It uses the legend of Don Juan to expose the male fantasies behind Romanticism and 19th-century public culture. Critics feared that the poem was a "manual for vice" and would corrupt society. Should England's best-selling author have been censored? This book looks at how Europe's most famous literary celebrity shows his dark side in "Don Juan".
