Much has been written about the reception, but there is no coherent account of what actually happened . Byron's Waterloo establishes for the first time an accurate sequence of events for the reception of Cain, concentrating on the first six months following its publication on 19 December 1821. Each chapter interweaves the accounts of the reviews and pamphlets with letters, diary entries, and reported conversations and corrects the record about the piracies, the copyright, and Byron's letter defending the play.
