Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know: The Byronic Hero

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lady Lamb once said of Lord Byron that he was "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Not only was Lord Byrons the original rock star, he was also the originator of the dark, brooding anti-hero also known as the Byronic hero. Here, you will be able to read about the origins of the Byronic hero, works by Byron, as well as those influenced by him both during his own time and ours.
