1820 Don Juan Cantos I and II
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Leather Binding
An early edition of the first two cantos of 'Don Juan', published only one year after the first edition of 1819.
'Don Juan' is Lord Byron's satirical epic poem, an important feat of Romantic poetry. Byron portrays Don Juan has a man easily seduced by women, rather than a womaniser. The character, but not the plot, is taken from the legendary Spanish libertine figure.
Byron's poem is written in ottava rima across sixteen cantos. Upon the publication of the first cantos in 1819 the poem was criticized as immoral.
