Byron’s Social Doctrine 43
1816, the disillusionment of 1819, and the valor of 1823.
But if we are to understand Byron, we have to take, not
glimpses, but an over-all view of the man and the poet. Such
a view will reveal to us one who never wavered in the pur-
suit of his objective. He began his career with expressions of
hope for the freedom of man. He continued to express this
hope, which is a dominant element in most of his poetry, and
he ended his days striving, successfully, to instill that hope
and love of liberty in the hearts of a suffering people.
