"Giaour" is an offensive Turkish word for infidel or non-believer, and is similar to the Arabic word "kafir". The story is subtitled "A Fragment of a Turkish Tale", and is Byron's only fragmentary narrative poem. Lord Byron designed the story with three narrators giving their individual point of view about the series of events. Byron was inspired to write the poem during his Grand Tour during 1810 and 1811, which he undertook with his friend John Cam Hobhouse. While in Athens, he became aware of the Turkish custom of throwing a woman found guilty of adultery into the sea wrapped in a sack. "Giaour" (Turkish: Gâvur) is an offensive Turkish word for infidel or non-believer, and is similar to the Arabic word "kafir". The story is subtitled "A Fragment of a Turkish Tale", and is Byron's only fragmentary narrative poem. Byron designed the story with three narrators giving their individual point of view about the series of events. The main story is of Leila, a member of her master Hassan's harem, who loves the giaour and is killed by being drowned in the sea by Hassan. In revenge, the giaour kills him and then enters a monastery due to his remorse. The design of the story allows for contrast between Christian and Muslim perceptions of love, death and the afterlife. The poem was written after Byron had become famous overnight after the publication of the first two cantos of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and reflects his disenchantment with fame. It also reflects the gloom, remorse and lust of two illicit love affairs, one with his half-sister Augusta Leigh and the other with Lady Frances Webster. The earliest version of the poem was written between September 1812 and March 1813, and a version of 700 lines published in June 1813. Several more editions were published before the end of 1813, each longer than the last. The last edition contains 1300 lines, almost twice as many as the version first published. The Giaour proved to be very popular with several editions published in the first year. By 1815, 14 editions had been published when it was included in his first collected edition. Its runaway success led Byron to publish three more "Turkish tales" in the next couple of years: "The Bride of Abydos" in 1813, "The Corsair" in 1814 and "Lara". Each of these poems proved to be very popular, with "The Corsair" selling 10,000 copies in its first day of publication. These tales led to the public perception of the Byronic hero. The Giaour illustrates the idea of Orientalism with its characters. Some critics consider Leila as a personification of Greece, for the sake of which there was a war between the Ottoman Empire and Russia.

Manfredo es un poema dramático escrito en 1816-1817 por Lord Byron. Contiene elementos sobrenaturales, de acuerdo con la popularidad de la historia de fantasmas en la Inglaterra de la época. Es un ejemplo típico de un drama romántico closet. Manfred fue adaptado musicalmente por Robert Schumann en 1852, en una composición titulada Manfred: poema dramático con la música en tres partes, y más tarde, de Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky en su Sinfonía Manfred. Friedrich Nietzsche quedó impresionado por la representación del poema de un ser sobrehumano, y escribió música para él. Byron escribió este "drama metafísico", como él la llamaba, después de su fracaso matrimonial en un escándalo en medio de acusaciones de irregularidades sexuales y una relación incestuosa entre Byron y su media hermana, Augusta Leigh. Atacado por la prensa y condenado al ostracismo por la sociedad londinense, Byron huyó de Inglaterra a Suiza en 1816 y nunca regresó. Debido a que Manfred fue escrito inmediatamente después de esto y porque Manfred se refiere a un personaje principal torturado por su propio sentido de culpabilidad por un delito que no se puede mencionar, algunos críticos consideran Manfred ser autobiográfico, o confesional, incluso.

THE CLASSIC: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by Lord Byron. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe." 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. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood. Childe Harold became a vehicle for Byron's own beliefs and ideas, but in the preface to canto four Byron complains that his readers conflate him and Child Harold too much, so he will not speak of Harold as much in the final canto. According to Jerome McGann, by masking himself behind a literary artifice, Byron was able to express his view that "man's greatest tragedy is that he can conceive of a perfection which he cannot attain."

The Siege of Corinth is a rhymed, tragic narrative poem by Lord Byron. Published in 1816, it was inspired by the Ottoman massacre of the Venetian garrison holding the Acrocorinth - an incident in the Ottoman conquest of Morea during the Ottoman-Venetian Wars. Byron recounts the final, desperate resistance of the Venetians on the day the Ottoman army stormed Acrocorinth: revealing the closing scenes of the conflict through the eyes of Alp (a Venetian renegade fighting for the Ottomans) and Francesca (the beautiful maiden daughter of the governor of the Venetian garrison: Minotti). Alp - whose impassioned suit for Francesca's hand had been previously refused by Minotti - had later fled the Venetian Empire after being falsely denounced by anonymous accusers via the infamous "Lion's Mouth" at the Doge's palace (see insert). Enlisting under the Turkish flag, he repudiates both his nationality and his religion, as well as his old name 'Lanciotto', only to be challenged by Francesca herself the night before the final assault to repent his apostasy, to forgive his accusers, and to save the Venetian garrison from certain slaughter. Alp's ensuing moral dilemma: viz. to forgive those who unjustly accused him and save the lives of his enemies; or to prosecute his revenge on Venice using all the Turkish forces under his command - forms the climax of the unfolding drama as the battle between the Ottomans and the Venetians presses to its conclusion.

"Don Juan" is an epic poem written by Lord Byron, published in several parts between 1819 and 1824. The poem is a satirical take on the legendary figure of Don Juan, a seductive and promiscuous character from Spanish literature. Byron's "Don Juan" follows the adventures of the titular character as he travels across Europe and encounters a variety of characters, including nobles, poets, and politicians. The poem is notable for its witty and often irreverent tone, as well as its exploration of themes like love, sex, politics, and religion. Throughout the poem, Byron pokes fun at the conventions of romance and chivalry, and portrays Don Juan as a figure who is at once charming and flawed. Despite his many dalliances, Don Juan is often shown as a sympathetic and likeable character, who is capable of genuine feeling and emotion.
