EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 1869 cartoon print, we see a scene that captures the controversy surrounding Harriet Beecher Stowe's biography of Lord Byron. The renowned poet's reputation is being besmirched by Stowe in her writings, causing quite a stir in England.
As one of the most beloved poets of his time, Byron holds a special place in the hearts of many English citizens. So when his character is called into question by an American author like Stowe, it's no wonder that England rises to his defense with fervor.
The cartoon depicts the clash between Stowe and Byron's supporters, illustrating the heated debate over whether Stowe's portrayal of Byron is accurate or unfair. It serves as a snapshot of the cultural and literary events unfolding during this tumultuous period in history.
Despite the controversy surrounding Stowe's biography, Lord Byron remains an iconic figure in English literature, revered for his poetic genius and romantic spirit. This print captures a moment in time when passions ran high and reputations were on the line, showcasing how even great artists can become embroiled in scandal and intrigue.
