"Lord Byron" (Community Blog)

Looking at the blog's done by my fellew peers, the "Lord Byron" blog really caught my attention.  This blog composed by Alejandra Hernandez, Danielle Henry, Natasha King, and Sydney Leliefeld is devoted to Byron and is really helpful if you want to know more about his life and his works. The blog has a nice background appealing to the eye, and a picture of Byron which I thought was good because that way people would know how he looked like. I like that this blog has many informative posts, including one that compares Byron and Wordsworth. Byron's style combines culture and nature into one, while Wordsworth thinks the opposite, nature is an ecological understanding isolated from culture. That would help someone who does not know anything about Romanticism because they would not be learning about one poet, but would have a glimpse of another great poet, William Wordsworth. I also found it helpful that they provided a tremendous amount of insight of Byron's life. It found it extremely interesting that he would not want to take any money for his work and would rather be in dept to withhold his image to not be seen as a writer. I also would have never guessed that a poet would have ever had a wild partying or "playboy" lifestyle. His partying lifestyle began at Cambride University where he also found his playboy lifestyle appealing to both sexes. Or the fact that he had numerous affairs with married women, one being Lady Caroline, who she later made his life miserable. This blog has many videos that are used as a visual that are helpful if you need more understanding of it. Overall, this blog has many useful posts for people who want to learn more about Byron, his poems, and his life. I really enjoyed reading all of these posts, they helped me have more of an inside look of what he went through and clarifies some of his poems. If you want to learn anything about the Romanticism era, aiming more towards the poet Byron than the other great poets, I suggest you read this blog.
