I am mad at my literature textbook.
You cannot talk about an author without considering his background and psychology. You just can't.
Things like, "Byron was trying to create a fashion"... No? Well, maybe yes, but his restless lifestyle was mainly a way to react to his personal childhood thraumas? It is 2019, not 1819, we have access to psychological studies now and yet... it is frustrating how shallow it is, that is not even the most outrageous example.
