According to Jerome Christensen, literary histories of British Romanticism have dealt inadequately with Byron's "lordship"-his singularity as a phenomenal literary success and as the last and greatest aristocratic poet in the language.

And once Byron has a career, he ruins it-not by his unsavory sexual practices and political grandstanding, but by publishing his greatest poem.
