George Gordon Byron is a renowned and a celebrated Romantic poet. He is an influential figure in the Romantic Movement. According to the critic Lord Macaulay a Byronic hero is "a man proud, moody, cynical, with defiance on his brow, and misery in his heart, a scorner of his kind, implacable in revenge, yet capable of deep and strong affection". Byron uses wit, satire and intense passion in his writing. His writing style is infused with biting satire, verse narrative and he satirically mocks the age-old beliefs and conventions. Byron is a wonderful storyteller and engages his readers effortlessly and directly. He has used several traditional poetic forms like heroic couplets, Spenserian stanzas, and ottava rima etc. for his literary works. Byron is famous for creating a unique type of heroes popularly known as the Byronic heroes. His heroes are a distinctive creation in English Literature. They are endowed with multiple distinct characteristics which have provided them a particular place in the literary world. They are the social rebels, with high intellect often melancholic and brooding. They are courageous, egoistic and possess a sense of superiority. Their rebellious attitude makes them a perfect social misfit. They often have committed some serious offensive deed or have hidden and secretive past. English Literature is intensely influenced by such a charismatic character which has given birth to several characters in the modern time modeled on this specific Byronic hero. The Byronic Heroes are very much influenced by Byron’s own character.
