Summary |
Caroline R Foster from Charles M. Fleischmann 1916" written on flyleaf, Mr. Fleischmann's bookplate inside front cover. Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage is a long poem about a traveling young man who journeys across the world to combat his disillusionment with his own society. Since the title character is a "childe", it means he was a noble who forgoes his destiny back home for the exciting unknown. It's also eerily similar to Lord Byron's own life story, of a man who traveled across Europe to take part in other nations' wars. |
