History of Heroism
Trilling, Lionel | July 10, 1935 issue

This article focuses on the book "Byron: Romantic Paradox," by William J. Calvert. It is, no doubt, this mistaken notion that has made Byron's works the least bought of the popular Cambridge editions of the poets. Few, though these few have been of the best, have seen beneath the crudeness and the frequent vulgarity to the fineness, the intelligence, the craggy seriousness, the modern relevance. Of late, however, the feeling has happily begun to spread that Byron is not for adolescents but for the most adult, that his life is not a fatuous spectacle of misadventures but an instructive history of heroism.
