"English Bards, and Scotch Reviewers" is a satirical poem by Lord Byron, published in 1809.

The poem is a fascinating glimpse into the literary feuds and aesthetic debates of the early 19th century. This edition includes helpful notes and a preface, providing context and further insight into the targets of Byron's satire. A must-read for students of Romantic poetry and anyone interested in the history of literary criticism.
