To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Not many are the instances where a writer has in his own lifetime enjoyed a reputation and influence such as his. He is one of the greatest of germinal poets. With the exception of Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose strange figure always appears un- der every literary movement of modern times, Byron has perhaps influenced Con- tinental letters more than any English- man since his death. From Pushkin in the north to the Italians in the south, poetry in all languages was tinged with Byron's romantic me...lancholy. From the 13 TBptOn greatest writer of the modern epoch — Goethe — down to the small fry who merely aft as literary thermometers, we see plainly indicated the presence of the great Spoiled Child. The spell of his lovely melody is still potent, but his work has one fatal taint, — insincerity. The world did not need Byron's example to prove that one may be a great poet with- out being a good man. But the lack of moral values is apt to prevent one from realizing his highest possibilities as an artist.
