Byron, Sardanapalus [etc.]

Byron, Sardanapalus [etc.] (1821); British Critic, 2nd Series, XVII (May 1822), 520–540. Note the growing association of the names of Byron and Shelley (especially p. 528 and p. 534 note). The Satanism attributed to Byron and Shelley by Southey in the preface to his Vision of Judgment was beginning to seem a self-fulfilling prophecy as Byron retaliated in Cain and in the notes to The Two Foscari.
