Introduction

Although his work is often classified in anthologies alongside other Romantic poets, and despite the fact that his poems do contain obvious elements that were so characteristic of Romantic writing, Lord Byron can justifiably be considered to have created a hybrid genre in which he experimented with various poetic forms to create a style that was uniquely his own. An analysis of three of his poems, “Written After Swimming from Sestos to Abydos,” “Don Juan: Canto I,” and “She Walks in Beauty,”  helps the reader to understand how romantic and neoclassical elements both complement and contradict one another in the larger body of Lord Byron’s poetic works. Rather than align himself with any single poetic school, Byron was able to draw from the strengths and benefits of several styles, and his poems are all the better for having done so. These three poems by Byron, “Written After Swimming from Sestos to Abydos,” “Don Juan: Canto I,” and “She Walks in Beauty”  demonstrate the way in which the interplay of romantic and neoclassical elements evolved over the course of Byron’s poetic career.
