About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by George Gordon, Lord Byron. Read in English by Peter Tucker Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe". The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands. In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood. - Summary by Wikipedia
