Byron at Harrow and the Elm of Youth
The article recalls Lord Byron born 1783 to 1824 and his Harrow years. It describes his boyhood under the St Mary on the Hill churchyard elm, the spot he called the “Spot of my Youth,” and views from Windsor Castle. It notes his first poetry Hours of Idleness at age 20 and his clash with the Edinburgh Review over English Bards and Scottish Reviewers. It mentions Byron’s later Harold’s Pilgrimage and public reception.
