In this public lecture, Sir Drummond Bone considers Byron’s fragment ‘Harmodia’ and John Keat’s unfinished ‘Fall of Hyperion’, exploring Byron’s thoughts on what makes poetry and what makes the poet. [/ezcol_2third_end]
‘Fall of Hyperion’ has quite a lot on Keats’ view of what makes poetry important. It sets up an interesting contrast with Byron’s worries over what poetry can and cannot do in the fragment ‘Harmodia’, and leads us on to further Byronic thoughts on the possibilities and limitations of poetry in his journals, letters, and the later poetry itself.
