ABSTRACT
Byron, Deformed Transformed (1824); Universal Review, I (May 1824), 239-246. The reviewer may not regret Byron’s death from the usual motives, but had he been aware how drastically the death of the most popular writer and most colorful literary personality of the age would affect the whole profession of letters and cause readers to give up their subscriptions to reviews, he might have expressed regrets for himself and his own journalistic future.
