Events

*January 15 — Lord Byron takes his seat at Parliament.

Works published

* Lord Byron:
** "The Curse of Minerva"
** "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", Parts I-II, on March 20, with other books published in following years, up to 1818. The publication of these first two cantos were received with acclamation, and Byron wrote, "I awoke one morning and found myself famous." The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands; in a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood.
* H. F. Cary, translator, Dante's "Purgatorio" and "Paradiso"

Births

* Robert Browning
* Charles Dickens
* Edward Lear

Deaths
