George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, later George Gordon Noel, 6th Baron Byron, FRS (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), commonly known simply as Lord Byron, was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Many of the details concerning his life and works have not yet been released into the public domain and are still embargoed under the 300-year rule, although the little that is known is summarised here.
The following list, obtained by Wickhamleaks in circumstances yet to be fully explained, gives a tantalising glimpse of his so-called "forbidden works", a sequence of plays on the subject of contemporary morals:
- The Devil in Miss Bennet
- Coach Stop Women
- Last Quadrille in Paris
- Prussian Dentist on the Job
- The Emma trilogy (Emma, Emma 2 and Goodbye Emma)
- Shaving Byron's Primates
- Confessions of a Nash-style Tripartite Segmental Bay Window Cleaner
It is said that following a private view of several of these works, Joseph Robert Brighouse, the contemporary critic, was observed to emerge
in a fluster'd STATE with a most RUDDY complexion as if AFFLICT'D with a scrofulous MIASM[citation needed]
His subsequent review has never been located.
