ABSTRACT

[Byron] Don Juan, III-V (1821); Literary Gazette, Aug. 11, 1821, pp. 497-500; Aug. 18, 1821, pp. 516-517. The reviewer finds Byron’s “foulness” more objectionable than his liberal politics and religious skepticism; this is a sign of a growing “Victorianism” which believed that suppressing sexual candor was the key to morality.
