| Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem written by the British poet Lord Byron when at Kinsham. It was published between 1812 and 1818. 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. — Excerpted from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. |
