Yu, Jie-Ae. “The Metaphorical Circulations of Water in Byron’s Works.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 38.1 (2012): 103-118. Little critical attention has been paid to Byron’s elaborate and many-faceted deployment of the figurative circulations of water such as the sea, rivers, lakes, and tears in his poetical and dramatic writings. The key purpose of this article is to investigate how the poet utilizes the metaphorical movement of such images to embody the multiple types of change and fluidity pertaining both to the outside and inner worlds of his main characters. In a wider context, the circulation of water in Byron’s works symbolizes the recurring pattern of civilization in history against the backdrop of fate. In the internal perspective, the same image is used to implicate the psychological transformation of his major figures, which involves an internal journey from gloominess and despair, through the repentance of past guilt, to the speaker’s gradual recovery of a healthy and balanced state of mind. The paper focuses on examining these extensive and dynamic significances of the indicative activities of the waters by means of scrutinizing the diverse range of his literary texts written between 1813 and 1823.
