Abstract

This article aims to explore how Byron’s early poetry manifests the speaker’s religious experiences through an intriguing relationship between his perception of inner affliction and divine attitude toward the Scottish Highlands. The paper examines how the speaker in Byron’s Highlands poems unfolds his suppressed pain chiefly necessitated by love and life, and also searches for its redemptive solution by way of interacting with the exterior transcendental landscape. The article emphasizes the speaker’s religious quest for permanence and relief through the natural environment, which enables him to liberate from the haunted recognition of grief deeply abounding in his heart.
