Byron's Religions is the most comprehensive study yet of the poet's deep, diverse and eclectic attitude to religion. The articles, by several well-known and distinguished scholars, cover many of his poems and plays, taking in Anglicanism, Catholicism, Blasphemy, Calvinism, Gnosticism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. The tentative conclusion is that Byron was never the atheist which the cliche has him to be, but a man whose profound need for a faith clashed always with an equally profound scepticism.
