Lord Byron "So, we`ll go no more a roving" - His own miss of love?

Introduction

Lord Gordon George Noel Byron was a famous and celebrated poet of the Romantic Period (1785 – 1830). The heart-touching poem “So, we`ll go no more a roving” hints to the mid-life crisis of the writer. Moved by his altering relationships and resulting consequences he decides to modify his way of life.
In the progress of his essay I show the complexity and ambiguity of this poem. Developing 2 theories I hint to the importance of background information concerning the Romantic Period and the author`s context. At the end I conclude the arguments deciding for one theory.
