Summary: Pilgrimage among the nations of Europe
Comment: Lord Byron travels in Europe from Portugal to Spain, then to Italy and Greece, then to the Ardennes and the Alps, to Switzerland and Venice and Rome. He beholds the war-torn Europe after Napoleon and is a witness to the emerging nationalism of all nations. He blends his song of independence for all countries or peoples into a long and rich song of nature that mixes historical references, mythological recollections and all other connections he deems natural and useful to give universality and even some kind of a new power coming from the faith in the ability of men to free themselves and to reach up to the realisation of their potentials. The form is also very engaging : a ballad with some songs here and there. The rhythmic and rhyming patterns are fluid and delicate and Lord Byron reaches a rare power and, should I say, finesse in the use of the form. We nearly get an epic, or at least an epic in the making, and this strong tone is ever present in the poem.
