Contributor Bio:  Byron, George Gordon, Lord Byron was a poet, born in London. He spent his first 10 years in poor surroundings, but then inherited his great uncles title and went to Dulwich, Harrow and Cambridge. An early collection of poem, Hours of Idleness was badly reviewed, which he then set on a grand tour, visiting Spain, Greece, and the Aegean. He then published the popular Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and became the darling of London Society. He gave active help to the Italian insurgents who had risen agaisnt the Turks. He died of a fever at Missolonghi. Contributor Bio:  Nodier, Charles Charles Nodier (1780-1844) fue un gran escritor frances, refinado, eficaz, y es en sus sutilezas donde se puede apreciar lo mejor de su literatura. Sus relatos y leyendas abordaron casi todos los topicos de la literatura gotica, pero siempre desde un lugar distanciado; como si su experiencia como bibliotecario lo hubiese alejado definitivamente del terror llano y visceral.
