About
Volume VIII opens with Byron in Ravenna, in 1821. His passion for the Countess Guiccioli is subsiding into playful fondness, and he confesses to his sister Augusta that he is not so furiously in love as at first. Italy, meanwhile, is afire with the revolutionary activities of the Carbornari, which Byron sees as the very "poetry" of politics. His journal, written while the insurrection grew, is a remarkable record of his reading and reflections while awaiting the sounds of gunfire."
