Upon their initial publication in 1819, the first two cantos were criticised as immoral, due to the ridiculing of the society of his day.With an illustrated frontispiece to each of the 'Don Juan' volumes. Collated, complete.Present at the birth of Mary Shelley's famous horror story 'Frankenstein', and widely gossiped and written about during and after his lifetime, this work forms a delightfully bound set of the works of one of the most famous poets in the English language, also one of the most famous figures in British history, notorious for his controversial life.A smart set of the works of a man frequently regarded as one of the greatest English poets, published only five years after his death.
