Containing the following works: 'Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice: An Historical Tragedy' and 'The Prophecy of Dante, A Poem' (1821) 'Werner, a Tragedy' (1823) 'Hebrew Melodies' (1815) George Gordon Byron, more widely known as Lord Byron, was a British nobleman, poet and leading figure in the Romantic movement, often regarded as one of the greatest British poets. Byron was renowned, rather notoriously as being the most flamboyant of the major Romantics, notorious for his aristocratic excesses (which included huge debts) and numerous love affairs with both men and women. Beyond this however, Byron wrote prolifically throughout his lifetime and remains widely read and influential. 'Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice' is a first edition second issue copy with Doge's speech on p. 151 starting "His crimes!" followed by seven additional lines from the original five and a half lines in the first edition first issue copy (Copac). 'Werner' is a first edition second issue copy, distinguished through the presence of the printer's imprint at the foot of page 188, with the words "The End" (Copac). 'Hebrew Melodies' is a first edition copy and is presumed to be a later issue due to the lack of advertisements to the rear of the text due to rebinding.
