Description
Byron and Italy is the winner of the Elma Dangerfield 2018 award.
Venetian debauchery, Roman sight-seeing, revolution, horse-riding and swimming, sword-brandishing and pistol-shooting, and the poet's 'last attachment' form part of the fabric of Romantic mythology. Yet Byron's time in Italy was crucial to his development as a writer, to Italy's sense of itself as a nation, to Europe's perceptions of national identity, and to the evolution of Romanticism across the continent.
In this volume, Byron scholars from Britain, Europe, and beyond re-assess the topic of Byron and Italy in all its richness and complexity. They consider Byron's relationship to Italian literature, people, geography, art, religion, and politics, and discuss his navigations between British and Italian identities.
