Presentation on the topic of George Gordon Byron. Byron

1. Byron (Byron) George Noel Gordon (1788-1824) Disappeared, mourned by freedom, Leaving the world his crown. Noise, get excited by bad weather: He was, O sea, your singer. Your image was marked on it, It was created by your spirit: Like you, powerful, deep and gloomy, Like you, indomitable by anything. Alexander Pushkin
George Noel Gordon..." target="_blank"> 2. Great English poet of the 19th century
- George Noel Gordon Byron is a great English poet. Byron's works, which are classics of romanticism in literature, are imbued with the spirit of the ideas of the French Revolution. He introduced the cult of freedom and extreme individualism into literature. As a poet, Byron strikes with the passion and spontaneity of his genius. All his work is a monologue of a soul full of discord, seized with a thirst for achievement, but always offended by life.

Gordon is Byron's second personal name given to him..." target="_blank"> 3. Name
- Gordon is Byron's second personal name, given to him at baptism and coinciding with his mother's maiden name. Byron's father, however, in claiming his father-in-law's Scottish possessions, used "Gordon" as the second part of the surname (Byron-Gordon), and George himself was enrolled at the school under the same double surname. At the age of 10, after the death of his great-uncle, George became a peer of England and received the title of "Baron Byron", after which, as is customary among peers of this rank, his usual everyday name became "Lord Byron" or simply "Byron".
The poet's father, Captain John Byron (1755..." target="_blank"> 4. Origin
- The poet's father, Captain John Byron (1755-1791), first married a divorced woman, with whom he fled to France, and the second time he married only because of money to pay his debts, and, having squandered his wife's fortune, left her.
- His great-uncle, that is, his father's uncle, after whom Byron succeeded to the title of lord, killed his neighbor and kinsman Chaworth in a drunken state, was sued for this, although he was acquitted, but, pursued by public opinion and remorse, shut himself up in his castle Newstead, who had already begun to fall into disrepair, and led such an impermissible life in seclusion that he was nicknamed "the bad Lord Byron."
- Byron's grandfather, the admiral, was nicknamed "Jack of the Storms" (Foulweather Jack) and led the same hectic life at sea as his grandson, the poet, led on land.
- Byron's more distant ancestors were noted for their bravery in the various wars of England.
The poverty into which Byron was born, and from whom..." target="_blank"> 5. Childhood
- The poverty into which Byron was born, and from which the title of lord did not relieve him, gave direction to his future career. When he was born (in Hall Street, London, January 22, 1788), his father had already sold all his lands, and his mother returned from Europe with a small remnant of her fortune.
- Lady Byron settled in Aberdeen, and her “lame boy,” as she called her son, was sent to a private school for a year, then transferred to a classical gymnasium. There are many stories about Byron's childhood antics. The Gray sisters who nursed little Byron found that they could do anything with caresses to him, but his mother always lost her temper at his disobedience. He often responded to his mother's outbursts with ridicule,
- In 1799 he entered the school of Dr. Gleny, where he stayed for two years and treated his bad leg all the time, after which he recovered so much that he could put on boots. During these two years he studied very little, but he read the entire rich library of the doctor.
- In 1801 he left for Harrow; dead languages and antiquity did not at all attract him, but on the other hand he read all the English classics with great interest and left school with great knowledge. At school, he was famous for his chivalrous attitude towards his comrades and for the fact that he always stood up for the younger ones.
At the University of Cambridge..." target="_blank"> 6. Youth and the beginning of creativity
- At Cambridge University, Byron slightly increased his scientific knowledge and was most distinguished by the art of swimming, riding, boxing, playing cards, so he was constantly in need of money and, as a result, "got into debt." In Harrow, Byron wrote several poems, and in 1807 his first book, Hours of idleness, appeared in print.
In June of the same year, Byron sent ..." target="_blank"> 7. The first trip
- In June of the same year, Byron went on a trip. He, having visited Spain, Albania, Greece, Turkey and Asia Minor, returned in a depressed state. Persons who identified him with Childe Harold suggested that abroad, like his hero, he led a too immoderate life, but Byron protested against this, saying that Childe Harold was a figment of the imagination. At the same time, he lost his mother, and although he lived with her far from being at odds, nevertheless he grieved very much for her.
February 27, 1812 Bai..." target="_blank"> 8. "Childe Harold". Glory
- On February 27, 1812, Byron delivered his first speech in the House of Lords, which was a great success, and two days later the first two songs of Childe Harold appeared. The poem was a fabulous success, and 14,000 copies of it were sold in one day, which immediately put the author among the first literary celebrities. Byron said: "One morning I woke up and saw myself famous."
- Childe Harold's journey captivated not only England, but all of Europe. The poet showed the national struggle of that time, speaks with sympathy about the Spanish peasants, about the heroism of women, and his ardent cry for freedom resounded far. In this difficult moment of general tension, he also recalled the lost greatness of Greece.
- In this poem, the author for the first time introduces the type of literary hero, who later will be called the Byronic hero. The Byronic hero is the hero of most of Byron's writings.
He met Moore, and he ve..." target="_blank"> 9. Social life
- He met Moore, and he introduced him to high society as a "lion". Until that time, he had never been in the big world, and now he indulged with enthusiasm in the whirlwind of secular life. However, in the big world, the lame poet (his knee was a little cramped) never felt free and arrogance tried to cover up his awkwardness.
- In March 1813, he published the satire "Waltz" without a signature, and in May he published a story from Turkish life "Gyaur", inspired by his trip to the Levant. The audience enthusiastically accepted this story of love and revenge, and even more enthusiastically greeted the poems "Abydos Bride" and "Corsair", published in the same year. In 1814, he published "Jewish Melodies", which had a tremendous success, and was translated many times into all European languages, as well as the poem "Lara" (1814).
In November 1813, Byron sde..." target="_blank"> 10. Marriage, divorce, scandal
- In November 1813, Byron proposed to Miss Milbank, daughter of Ralph Milbank, a wealthy baronet, granddaughter and heiress of Lord Wentworth. “A brilliant party,” Byron wrote to Moore, “although I did not propose because of this.” He was refused, but Miss Milbank expressed a desire to enter into correspondence with him. In September 1814, Byron renewed his proposal, and it was accepted, and in January 1815 they were married.
- In December, Byron had a daughter named Ada, and the following month Lady Byron left her husband in London and went to her father's estate. On the way, she wrote her husband an affectionate letter, beginning with the words: "Dear Dick", and signed: "Your Poppin." A few days later, Byron learned from her father that she had decided never to return to him again, and after that Lady Byron herself informed him of this. A month later, a formal divorce took place.
Having gone abroad, he p..." target="_blank"> 11. Life in Switzerland and Italy
- Having gone abroad, he ordered the sale of his Newsteed estate, and this gave him the opportunity to live without worrying about constant lack of money. In addition, he could indulge in solitude, which he so longed for. Abroad, he settled in the Villa Diadash, near Geneva. He spent the summer at the villa, making two small tours of Switzerland, one with Hobgauz, the other with the poet Shelley.
- In April 1819 he met Countess Guiccioli and they fell in love. The countess was forced to leave with her husband for Ravenna, where Byron also went after her. Two years later, the father and brother of the Countess, the Counts of Gamba, who were involved in a political affair, had to leave Ravenna along with the Countess Guiccioli, already divorced at that time. Byron followed them to Pisa, where he still lived under the same roof with the countess.
Quiet, family life..." target="_blank"> 12. Trip to Greece and death
- Calm, family life did not save him, however, from melancholy and anxiety. He enjoyed all the pleasures too greedily and soon became satiated.
- Intoxicated with fame, he suddenly began to imagine that he was forgotten in England, and at the end of 1821 he began negotiations on the publication of the English magazine Liberal with Shelley, which, however, ceased after three issues.
- In part, however, Byron really began to lose his popularity, but, fortunately for him, a Greek uprising broke out at that time. Byron decided to go to Greece.
- He collected money, bought an English brig, and, taking supplies, weapons and men, sailed for Greece on July 14, 1823.
- Byron ordered the sale of all his property in England, and gave the money to the cause of Greece. Every success of the Greeks pleased him.
Byron caught a cold in Missolonghi..." target="_blank"> 13. The Last Days of the Poet
- In Missolonghi, Byron caught a cold, but, despite his illness, he continued to actively engage in the cause of the liberation of Greece.
- Byron, who was constantly ill, was very worried about the illness of his daughter Ada, but, having received a letter about her recovery, he wanted to go for a walk. During a walk with Count Gamba, a terrible rain fell, and Byron finally fell ill.
- His last words were fragmentary phrases: “My sister! my child! .. poor Greece! .. I gave her time, fortune, health! .. now I give her my life!
- April 19, 1824 the poet died. His body was taken to England and buried in the Byron family crypt.

- I tell you: I want tears, singer, Or the chest will burst from flour. She was nourished by suffering, She languished for a long time and silently; And the terrible hour has come -

The value of D.G. Byron The name of Byron, the poet, in the words of Pushkin, "mourned by freedom", is always close and dear to those for whom the high and beautiful feelings of people, their noble struggle against arbitrariness and tyranny, are sacred. Byron's work was innovative, it contained ideas that excited both contemporaries and subsequent generations. What was unsaid, what was not understood by Byron was said or gave rise to new disputes, but his work always disturbed the minds, awakened the imagination. And the poet, as if foreseeing this, said: ... I did not live in vain!

slide 13

A poem in four parts, published between 1812 and 1818. The dedication of the poem is an appeal to Ianthe, under whose name the daughter of his English acquaintances is hidden. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage describes the travels and musings of a jaded young man who has become disillusioned with a life of pleasure and merriment and seeks adventure in strange lands.

slide 14

More broadly, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars that followed. The designation of the protagonist comes from the old English title childe ("childe") - the medieval designation of a young nobleman who was still just a candidate for knighthood. This title, as the author of the poem points out, was chosen as the most consistent with the old form of versification.

slide 15

The poem contains elements that are generally considered autobiographical, as Byron creates part of the storyline based on experiences gained during travels in the Mediterranean in general, and in particular Albania, Spain, Portugal, the Aegean and Greece in 1809-1811. "Ianta" is his affectionate term for Charlotte Harley, the 13-year-old daughter of Lady Oxford (great-great-grandmother of the painter Francis Bacon).

slide 16

Byron extremely doubted the expediency of publishing the first two parts, since very much in them was directly comparable with his personality and fate. They were published by John Murray at the urging of Byron's friends in 1812 and brought both the work and its author unexpected public attention. Byron later wrote: "I woke up one morning and found out that I was famous"

slide 17

The Byronic Hero The poem revealed in itself the first example of a Byronic hero. The idea of a Byronic hero carries many of the following different characteristics: The hero must have a high level of intelligence and perception, as well as be able to easily adapt to new situations and use cunning to his own advantage. So, Childe Harold is well educated, well-mannered and smart, and also endowed with external attractiveness, style and tact. Apart from the obvious allure that this automatically creates, he struggles with his honest directness, being prone to swings or bipolar tendencies. slide 19

This title, as the author of the poem points out, was chosen as the most consistent with the old form of versification.

In general, the hero has an inherent disrespect for any authority, thus creating an image of the Byronic hero as an exile or outcast. The hero also has a tendency to be arrogant and cynical, indulging in self-destructive behavior that is combined with a need to seduce women. The mystery of the hero is certainly an intensifying factor of his sexual attractiveness, but even more provoking his frequent clash with certain problems.

Byron was born on January 22, 1788 into a noble but impoverished family. He spent his childhood in Scotland, in the small town of Aberdeen. In 1801 the boy entered the school. The town of Harrow, where the school was located, with its hills and river, was the exact opposite of the gloomy Newstead Abbey. At school, Byron studies Latin and Greek, gets acquainted with the history of the ancient world, and is engaged in English literature. He reads a lot; books become his passion. His inquisitive mind begins to attract the ideas of French thinkers of the 18th century. When Byron was 10 years old, he inherited the title of lord and the family castle of Newstead (formerly a Catholic monastery), granted to Byron's ancestors during the Reformation. The dilapidated castle - Newstead Abbey, its shady park was subsequently mentioned more than once in Byron's poetry.

In 1805, after graduating from school in Harrow, Byron entered the university. During the student years, the first collection of his lyrical poems appeared - “Leisure Hours”, in which he included his youthful works

The official press received Byron's first book unkindly. But the young poet accepted the challenge and responded to his opponents with the satire "English bards and Scottish reviewers." He sharply criticized modern English literature related to the interests of property owners. With his satire, Byron dealt a crushing blow to the established singers of bourgeois-aristocratic England - a blow that he could not forgive. In Pisa, a circle of Shelley's friends gathered at Byron's Casa Lafranchi. On July 1, L. Hunt joined Byron and Shelley to edit the short-lived Liberal magazine with them. Shelley drowned a few days later, leaving Byron in charge of Hunt, his ailing wife, and six uncontrollable children.

Tired of an aimless existence, yearning for vigorous activity, Byron seized on the offer of the London Greek Committee to help Greece in the war of independence. On July 15, 1823, he left Genoa with P. Gamba and E. J. Trelawney. He spent about four months on the island of Kefalonia, awaiting instructions from the Committee. Byron gave money to equip the Greek fleet and at the beginning of January 1824 joined Prince Mavrokordatos in Missolungi. He took under his command a detachment of Souliotes (Greek-Albanians), to whom he paid monetary allowances. Sobered by the strife among the Greeks and their greed, exhausted by illness, Byron died of a fever on April 19, 1824.
