On this day, January 22, in 1788, George Gordon Byron – better known as Lord Byron – was born in
London, England. The flamboyant writer is considered one of the greatest British poets and a major figure of the Romantic movement. His life was one of excess and sexual liberties, and he was associated with many romantic liaisons including a scandalous affair with his half-sister. Known for his lengthy poems Don Juan and Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and the short poem She Walks in Beauty, he died of a violent fever at age 36 while fighting the Ottoman Empire in Greece (where he is still hailed as a national hero). His only legitimate child, Ada Lovelace, was a pioneer of modern computing.

On this day, December 3, in 1857, Joseph Conrad was born in Berdichev, Imperial Russia (modern
Ukraine, then a part of Poland). While he settled in England and wrote in English, he always considered himself a Pole. Heart of Darkness, one of the most famous of his 20 novels (which explores colonialism and the attitudes regarding what constitutes a barbarian versus civilized society) is considered one of the best English novels of the 20th century, as is his novel Lord Jim, which chronicles a crew’s abandonment of its disabled ship. Conrad died in England in 1924 at age 66.
