The Cambridge Companion to Byron: Second Edition
Deeply informed and appealingly written, this revised and updated second edition gives fresh life to the enthralling sexual, poetic and political contradictions that make Byron the first literary celebrity.

Travel Writing in the Nineteenth Century: Filling the Blank Spaces
Land, Nation and Culture, 1740–1840
Over the last twenty years, critics and historians of the late Eighteenth-century have developed a multidisciplinary approach to the history of culture. This dialogue between literary critics and theo

‘Stick to the East;—the oracle [Madame de Staël] told me it was the only poetical policy. The North, South, and West, have all been exhausted . . . the public are orientalizing, and pave the path for you.’ Thus Lord Byron to the Irish poet Tom Moore in May 1813, a year after he had achieved fame with the first two cantos of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage , based on his own Levantine Grand Tour of 1809–11. Byron’s remarks give us insight into the work…
Byron and the Eastern Mediterranean: Childe Harold ii and the ‘polemic of Ottoman Greece’
Slow sinks, more lovely ere his race be run, Along Morea’s hills the setting sun; Not, as in Northern climes, obscurely bright, But one unclouded blaze of yellow light! . . . On old Aegina’s rock and Idra’s isle, The god of gladness sheds his parting smile; O’er his own regions lingering, loves to shine, Though there his altars are no more divine. ( The Corsair , iii .1–4, 7–10) In the opening lines of the third canto of The Corsair (1814), Byron…

In three sections devoted to the historical, textual and literary contexts of Byron's life and times, these specially commissioned essays by a range of eminent Byron scholars provide a compelling picture of the diversi…

Irish Republicans and Gothic Eleutherarchs: Pacific Utopias in the Writings of Theobald Wolfe Tone and Charles Brockden Brown
Repudiating Montesquieu's and Rousseau's contention that the virtuous republic was an impossibility in the complex commercial states of modern Europe, the French revolutionaries sought to fuse utopianism with constitutional politics. The statist utopias of twentieth-century totalitarian regimes that (arguably) built on that foundation have given utopianism a bad name in our epoch. In this essay I want to examine Gregory Claeys's argument that the…
