Next Episode: Byron's Influence on Poe

This is Episode 244 of Celebrate Poe - Darkness - the second of three episodes about Lord Byron

Where we left off, it is said that Lord Byron awoke one morning and found himself famous. The first run of his latest book of 500 copies sold out in three days.  Pretty impressive for the time!

This episode also takes a deep dive into Byron's apocalyptic poem - Darkness, as well as a look at the concept of the Byronic hero.
