Lord Byron

.
             Thus far, Byron has questioned each of the Romantic Reviewers nobleness, intelligence and ability to write. Yet has it been revealed why these Romantics in this poem dislike Byron so harshly, but is it Byron who dislikes them. This poem English Bards, started out as such but by the end of it, it became English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, when Lord Brougham savaged his volume of lyrics, Hours of Idleness, in the Edinburgh Review of January 1808, the work later included the Scotch Reviewers. .
             Throughout English Bards Byron gives his idea's of Wordsworth, Coleridge and others, but in the dedication in the poem Don Juan, he tackles them head on. In the seventeen stanzas of the dedication, Byron lays on the resentment thick. The first four stanza's he tackles each of their particular faults, then in the last thirteen he tackles them as a whole. Byron disagrees with the way that these individuals write; the style of writing they use could go unnoticed to the naked eye. To Byron the styles chosen by the ridiculous romantics were all wrong.
             "And Coleridge, too, has lately taken wing, .
             But like a hawk encumbered with his hood,-.
             Explaining metaphysics to the nation-.
             I wish he would explain his Explanation." (316, ll. 13-16).
             With having read some of Coleridge's pieces, one could easily come to the realization that Coleridge was a little unexplained. Byron takes this from the piece Biographia Literaria, the entire piece to one is difficult to understand. .
             "I had bewildered myself in metaphysics, and in theological controversy", a line from Coleridge's Biographia Literaria. In such a short time he thought he had grown to fully understand it, but that has yet to be determined. This type of indecisiveness is what Byron is speaking of. Byron felt that a poet was a poet and nothing else, Coleridge had too many other ventures, such as the other poets were just simple minded, Byron felt to be really into giving poetical explanations, that is why perhaps Byron asks for an explanation of Coleridge's explanations.
