The style, manner, or literary characteristics associated with Lord Byron, or a movement imitating his romantic and rebellious artistic approach.
Formed from 'Byron' plus the suffix '-ism,' creating a noun describing an entire cultural movement or set of characteristics inspired by the poet's work and persona.
Byronism actually became a lifestyle movement—young people across Europe in the 1800s imitated Byron's appearance, his moody personality, and his scandalous behavior, making him probably the first true celebrity whose fans tried to literally dress and act like him.
