Byron's Don Juan and the Don Juan Legend
Haslett, Moyra (Lecturer in the Department of Literary Studies, Lecturer in the Department of Literary Studies, University of Luton)
Previous interpretations of Byron's epic poem Don Juan have almost unanimously neglected the context of the Don Juan legend in European literature and culture. This book argues that the Don Juan legend is a vital context for understanding the poems cultural and sexual politics. The argument focuses on such issues as seduction, class sexualities, and popular theatrical forms.
