1 1961 Yang, Dehua. Shi lun Bailun de you yu [ID D26471].
Yang Dehua schreibt : "According to some people, in his poetry Byron was not only opposed to the feudal autocratic system but also opposed to the bourgeoisie, and his sympathy was with the workers. They believed that Byron's works are tinged with melancholy because the contemporary workers' movements were not fully developed and because Byron could not see the beautiful prospect of human emancipation. In this point, we beg to differ."

Chu Chih-yu : Yang Dehua's essay was also intended to provide an annotation to Marx's commentary. His article was less well organized compared to An Qi's, full of Byronic 'digressions', self-contradictory statements, and arguments which are confused and confusing. He posed more questions than he answered. Yang tried to give an explanation for Byron's melancholy from a historical perspective, which is one of the common features of Marxist criticism. He quoted extensively from Marx's assessment of the political and economical relations of 19th-century Europe. Yang Dehua analyzed the contemporary political and economic situation, observing that Europe was in a state of transition with the feudal system on the brink of collapse and capitalist relations of production spinging up. He classified Byron as an 'aristocrat in decline' who 'betrayed his own class and came over to the bourgoisie under the impact of the bourgeois revolution'.
