"Lord Byron; c'est la vie"

"Lord Byron: c'est la vie" is a blog with a lot of potential when it comes to research on Lord Byron.The overall layout of the blog is easy to use and has a large variety of information on Byron, whether it be a biography, photographs, or connections to greek mythology. Not only they do a fantastic job at breaking down some of his works, for example, "The Dream" by Selina Chart, but they also have a great media representation of his life. I always find it easier to understand someone's writing when i have a background knowledge of their life and a visual of what they look like so this blog had a little bit of everything to truly grasp the life of the young Lord. All of the blog writers clearly understand the life of Byron and what his works did to shape the Romanticism Era of writing. The authors: Selina Chart, Sydney Janes, Valentin Protsenko, and Amanda Reed, do a great job at analyzing and interpreting the text into something that can be easily understood. They take the complex works of a famous poet and make it into a modern day interpretation that can be applied and compared to out lives and morals today. They found a way to interpret not only a video documentary, (that you can also find on our page) but a section on greek mythology that Lord Byron did a poem on. Lord Byron went to school abroad in Greece and most of his inspirations were from the ruins and mythology so it was nice to see that. I think that if you read their blog and our you would get a very good collaboration of ideas and thoughts on his works, and also the differences of opinion. One of Byron's most famous works is the poem, Don Juan. This poem is mostly known for it's profanity and isn't an easy poem to read, and because of that neither blog read it, but Sydney Janes, did a very good job at relating it to his life and explaining it without crossing boundaries or going into detail.
