George Gordon Byron by Zhang Haoyuan (191541)

George Gordon Byron:

He was born January 22, 1788 in a rented house in London. Parents all come from nobility families. 1805-1808 studied literature and history at Cambridge University. The student age was deeply influenced by Enlightenment thought. He created a group of "Byron-style heroes" in his poems. They are arrogant and stubborn, dissatisfied with reality, require resistance and have a rebellious character; but at the same time they are melancholy, lonely, and pessimistic. They are divorced from the masses, and they can't find a correct way out of their way. Byron was not only a great poet, but also a warrior who fought for his ideals. He actively and courageously joined the revolution, participated in the Greek national liberation movement, and became one of the leaders. I think that it is extremely valuable and courageous to dare to participate in the liberation movement if we have achieved certain achievements. Since his early years, he has known the stubbornness, hypocrisy, evil and prejudice of this society and his ruling class. His poetry has always been a protest against this. From 1809 to 1811, Byron traveled abroad to travel in the East in order to “look at humans rather than read them only in books, an expression of dare to explore and adventurous. Byron used a sloppy approach. He wrote his poems in Europe into poetry, and it is said that Byron was utterly useless in order to maintain his stature, but he died at the age of 37. This way everyone would not see him look old.However，I think for him, this is also a kind of happiness.
