Childe Harold's pilgrimage: Book Guide, Author and Facts
Childe Harold's pilgrimage by Lord Byron — plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage was the poem which brought Lord Byron public recognition. He himself disliked the poem, because he felt it revealed too much of himself. In it a young man (called childe after the medieval term for a candidate for knighthood) travels to distant lands to relieve the boredom and weariness brought on by a life of dissipation. It is thought to be a comment on the post-Revolutionary and -Napoleonic generation, who were weary of war.
