Dissertation
Designing Byron's Dasein: The anticipation of existentialist despair in Lord Byron's poetry
2008
Overview
In the broadest sense this paper exhibits an existentialist impulse in Byron's poetry. More particularly, I examine four of Byron's major works to analyze the similar ways in which his characters become alert to their being through the emotion of despair, and as a result I contend that Byron can be read anticipating the existentialist aim to explore being in terms of angst. Achieving awareness of being through despair means that Byron's characters fall back on nothing but themselves, that is to say, on the presence of their being, which suggests that an embedded ontology is at work in Byron's poetical thinking. This ontology is best understood in terms of his Dasein, which similarly conceives of being by virtue of its presence, its thereness.
