Synopsis "Don Juan (in English)"

This poem is a satirical retelling of the famous story of Don Juan who was a womanizer but in this telling of the story he is constantly being seduced by women and then left off to the side. Lord Byron himself calls this work an "Epic Satire" in which he was never quite sure which direction it would go in with each proceeding canto. The poem was never truly completed as Lord Byron died while he was working on the last and seventeenth canto. Despite it's open ending, the poem was immensely popular during its day for its open sexuality and controversial subject matter than the author used to gather popularity.
