No major writer of modern times has been so closely involved with the land of Greece as Lord Byron. Greek themes run through nearly all his poetry, and they provided him with inspiration whether he was being romantic or comic. 'If I am a poet', he told Trelawny, 'the air of Greece made me one.'1 Byron was influenced by Greece, but he in his turn has influenced attitudes to Greece and the Greek nation both in the West and in Greece itself. And that I presume is why he is picked out for special treatment in this series of lectures.KeywordsEuropean Economic CommunityWestern IdeaForm AloneTurkish EmpireRomantic PoetryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
