George Gordon, Lord Byron known as a very talented individual who some would say had a very interesting life along side his poetry. Along with the hardships of his life, he also has to deal with the hardships of his work. As a poet, particular pieces of your work are always under review. When you have, a work that is anything but what is considered normal it might be detested against. Lord Byron had pieces of work that were under review by persons of whom he did not care for whose work was different from his. From English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, which is a work displayed in the text, it exhibits the feelings towards Scott, Southey, Wordsworth, and Coleridge among others who are poets themselves. These poets did not write the review of Byron's poetry but he used them to exemplify, his dislike for their work. .
"" Behold! In various throngs the scribbling crew, .
For notice eager, pass in long review: .
Each spurs his jaded Pegasus apace," (287, ll. 1-3) .
In the lines above, Lord Byron is stating his perfuse dislikes for a group of poets who have not ridiculed his prized works. This line exclaims that all these poets have crowded together to eagerly scribble in long review their jaded ideologies of the reasons behind the piece and its contents. Standing in dislike for the other poets, the other poets might not stand in dislike for him. With the above lines being the very first three lines of the poem, it strains the rest of the work and the reader has to look for ridicule and low blows to other poets. .
"Not quite a felon, yet but half a knight,".
(287, ll. 68).
Here Byron speaks to the ridiculers that, their works are not as horrific as they would like them to be, and neither are they noble. From these lines what Byron feel's comes through to say also that their works are not as great as his nor are they better, he puts down there work as Lord Brougham has so blatantly put down his piece, in the Review of 1808, which is partly the reason for the name change of the poem.
