Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Don Juan, Vol. 1 of 2 The following extracts from Byron´s letters to Mr. Murray, will sufficiently illustrate the circumstances under which the first two cantos of Don Juan were published. September 19,1818. - "I have finished the First Canto (a long one, of about 180 octaves) of a poem in the style and manner of Beppo, encouraged by the good success of the same. It is called Don Juan, and is meant to be a little quietly facetious upon every thing. But I doubt whether it is not - at least, as far as it has yet gone - too free for these very modest days. However, I shall try the experiment anonymously; and if it don´t take, it will be discontinued. It is dedicated to Southey, in good, simple, savage verse, upon the Laureate´s politics, and the way he got them." January 25, 1819. - "Print it entire, omitting, of course, the lines on Castlereagh, as I am not on the spot to meet him, I have acquiesced in the request and representation: and having done so, it is idle to detail arguments in favor of my own self-love and ´poeshie;´ but I protest. If the poem has poetry, it would stand; if not, fall; the rest is ´ leather and prunello,´ and has never yet affected any human production ´pro or con.´ Dulness is the only annihilator in such cases.
