"And there are dresses splendid, but fantastical, masks of all times and nations": Lord Byron's Beppo, A Venetian Story; in the original wrappers
Fifth edition of Byron's classic satirical love story. Octavo, original wrappers as issued. In very good condition.
Byron's Beppo manifests a number of typical Byronic qualities, like the digressive structure and the use of satirical jabs at targets familiar to Byron's readership, such as literate women and as well as other poets (including Robert Southey, who appears as "Botherby"). As he does in major poems like Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan, in Beppo Byron mixes fictional elements with autobiographical ones.
