Leaving no stone unturned in this illuminating portrait of Byron and Shelleys formative years, Ian Gilmours entertaining dual biography explores the early lives of these two rebellious poets as they pursued freedom from traditional authorityin poetry, in politics, and in love. Born at a time of political and intellectual upheaval, the two wellborn heretics were at ideological odds with the establishment even as boys. During their brief stints at universityShelley was expelled from Oxford after publishing The Necessity of Atheism, and at Cambridge Byron concentrated mostly on gambling and whoringthey developed a fervent mutual hatred of persecution, inequality, and compulsory religion, quite to the shock of their fellow aristocrats. Their embrace of revolutionary ideals manifested itself, too, in their travels abroad, youthful love affairs, and early accomplishments in the literary arena. The twentyfouryearold Byron became an immediate sensation upon the publication of Childe Harolds Pilgrimage (I awoke one morning and found myself famous), but the prolific Shelley would not become [a] star among the stars of mortal night, as he put it, until after his death. Blackandwhite illustrations add to this impressive work, charting the careers of these two revolutionary poets who came to epitomize the Romantic Age.
