Summary "The Works of Lord Byron. Vol. 5" by Baron George Gordon Byron is a collection of poetry and dramas written in the early 19th century. This volume includes notable works such as "Sardanapalus," "The Two Foscari," and "Cain," showcasing Byron's exploration of historical themes and dramatic narratives. The collection reflects upon complex characters and political intrigue, often centering around figures grappling with identity, power, and morality. At the start of the volume, the preface reveals that the works within were penned during the last two years of Byron's poetic career, suggesting a sense of urgency and reflection as he approached the end of his life. The opening of "Sardanapalus" introduces the titular king, characterized as effeminate and steeped in luxury, yet stirring with latent courage. A tension arises as Salemenes, the king's brother-in-law, urges Sardanapalus to shed his indulgent lifestyle and reclaim his responsibilities as a ruler amidst growing unrest. The drama unfolds in a palace setting, where themes of passion, duty, and impending peril intertwine, setting the stage for a riveting exploration of what it means to be a king.
