Sinopsis

'Waltz: An Apostrophic Hymn' is a satirical poem by Lord Byron, published anonymously in 1813 under the pseudonym Horace Hornem. This witty and critical work takes aim at the popular dance, the waltz, and the societal obsession with it during the Regency era.Byron?s sharp verse critiques the perceived impropriety and moral laxity associated with the waltz, contrasting it with older, more formal dances. Through vivid imagery and clever wordplay, he lampoons the dance?s close embraces and its impact on English society, highlighting the perceived loss of traditional values.This edition offers readers a glimpse into Byron?s satirical genius and provides valuable insight into the social and cultural norms of the 19th century.
