ABSTRACT
Byron, Manfred (1817); Theatrical Inquisitor, XI (Aug. 1817), 120-127. The opening paragraph alludes to rumors that Byron had personally engaged in incest. Whereas the earlier reviewer of Parisina had passed over that tale of incest without comment, this reviewer – probably the same who wrote on Prisoner of Chillon – is shocked at the poetic use of “vice of the most horrid and appalling form” (p. 126).
