Frederick Garber describes in detail many of the problems of self in his earlier book, Self-Government from Richardson to Hoismans (Princeton, 1982). Using patterns in Byron's law as models, it focuses on self-making relationships and text-making as a central romantic issue.
For Byron and many of his contemporaries, the development of text in the world would mean putting oneself there with him, and this also means that difficulties in creating one inevitably reflect parallel difficulties in the other. Professor Garber discusses some key texts in Byron and shows how their evolution leads to a dead end that includes self and text.
Byron's director of these dilemmas was romantic cynicism, which is one of the greatest models. The study then moves on to wider areas of Anglo-European literature, the ultimate purpose of which is to say not only for the effectiveness of such irony but to put it as something more than an alternative to romantic membership.
