Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain how Lord Byron presents the speaker's feelings towards the woman in his poem.

Show transcript
The poem describes Byron's first sighting of a beautiful woman at a London party. The speaker initially describes her physical appearance, before speculating about her inner beauty. Byron was famed for his very public private life, including his many affairs with women. Byron remains one of the most famous Romantic poets of all time - the poem adheres to Romantic conventions. The poem barely mentions love, so this could be interpreted as a more surface level attraction.
