Don Juan

by Lord Byron

Don Juan: In Sixteen Cantos is an "epic satire" in which Lord Byron reverses the legend of Don Juan into a man easily seduced by women. It was first published in 1824, with the seventeenth canto unfinished before his untimely death. We offer the 1857 edition, which includes his unfinished canto.
