In 1820 Southey wrote "Vision of Judgment," a commemoration of King George
III, in the preface for which he criticizes Lord Byron and his "Satanic
School."  "Dear Stumparumper" is thus a rather cruel joke aimed at Byron's
clubfoot.

See Byron's response to Southey, also called "The Vision of Judgment,"
published as QUEVEDO REDIVIVUS, a poem with its share of shadows and shades:
