This is volume four of the landmark edition of Byron's poetry. Indispensable for Byron scholars, it represents the most comprehensive editing of his poetry ever undertaken.
From the first the quality of his editorial work was very high. In these volumes Volumes IV and V it is usually close to spectacular....The Clarendon edition will be standard for this generation and, I suspect, for some time after. It is rare that a superb scholar and a superb critic reside in the same breast, but in Jerome McGann they do.
