À propos de cet audio

 Manfred is a captivating dramatic poem penned by Lord Byron between 1816 and 1817, during his final departure from England. This work emerged shortly after the legendary ghost story session at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva, which included literary giants such as Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, and John Polidori—an event that also inspired the creation of Frankenstein and The Vampyre. Rich in supernatural elements of Gothic fiction, Manfred delves into the profound internal struggles of its central character, a man tormented by guilt over past actions that may have led to the death of his beloved. The poem intricately weaves themes of morality, guilt, religion, and the human condition, reflecting Byrons own attempts to reconcile his feelings of guilt stemming from his controversial past. Although it was never intended for performance, it found its way to the stage at Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1834 and influenced musical compositions by Schumann and Tchaikovsky.
