There is a short biography of these bloggers on thier site. The 'Turner's Fab Four', as they like to call themselfs, are open to improvment and love to hear your responses.They have many posts about Lord Byron's influence, especially with the laides.

This blog is just cool. They have alot of pictures and their blog just looks really good, it is nicely decorated. A handy feature of this blog is that is contains links to every other blog about a romantic poet or poems that were made by Mr. Turner's english class. Byron's Club blog has the best quotes of Lord Byron, which is an excellent idea, because many of these romantic poets have beautiful things to say. The blog even gives a summary of the famous poet's life. What really cought my attention was the post about "Don Juan". That is a popular phrase for a ladies man which, apperently, Lord Byron was a flirt! "Don Juan" is a poem by Lord Byron about the escapades, and I mean escapades, of a man named Don Juan. Its interesting to know where that phrase came from. I like how the bloggers don't just copy and paste, everything is in their own words and that makes everything so much more understandable.
There are a million blogs out there, I mean this is the world wide web, but how many of them actually teach something? Probably not that many. This blog, Byron's Club, is very informatinal. It tells about a romantic poet, and kind of gives the reader a summary of what romanticism is about. It also shows why this time period of liturature and writing was so important in it's influence on today's liturature. I feel this blog could really help with a person's understanding of Lord Byron, his work, and romanticism all together.
