George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, FRS (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), known simply as Lord Byron, was an English poet, peer, and politician who became a revolutionary in the Greek War of Independence, and is considered one of the leading figures of the Romantic movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan and Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, and the short lyric “She Walks in Beauty”. nHe travelled extensively across Europe, especially in Italy, where he lived for seven years. During his stay in Italy, he frequently visited his friend and fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later in his life, Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died in 1824 at the age of 36 from a fever contracted while in Missolonghi.
Byron was one of the most controversial authors of his time. His work was often criticized for its amoral content, but Byron was also praised for his poetic talent. Though he died young, Byron left a lasting legacy on English literature.
