Publisher Description
According to Wikipedia: "George Gordon Byron, later Noel, 6th Baron Byron FRS (1788 – 1824) was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Amongst Byron's best-known works are the brief poems When We Two Parted, She Walks in Beauty, and So, we'll go no more a roving, in addition to the narrative poems Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan. He is regarded as one of the greatest European poets and remains widely read and influential, both in the English-speaking world and beyond. Byron's fame rests not only on his writings but also on his life, which featured extravagant living, numerous love affairs, debts, separation, and marital exploits. He was famously described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". Byron served as a regional leader of Italy's revolutionary organization, the Carbonari, in its struggle against Austria. He later traveled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero.[2] He died from a fever in Messolonghi in Greece."

Really?!
On my iPhone 7+ this translates to over 22,000 pages. That amounts to more scrolling and searching than anything else. There are free public domain versions of Byron’s work with that feature. Save yourself a dollar, more importantly time searching, frustration and download one of the public domain versions. Too bad as there’s a wealth of material here.
13,000+ pages, no TOC!
At least the search function works. Still, the book is scarcely navigable.
