It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to Ianthe. The poem describes the travels and reflections of a worldweary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands. In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the postRevolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood. Summary by Wikipedia More information: LibriVox free public domain audiobooks
