This collection of essays explores the development of the myth of Byron and the Byronic from the poet’s self-representations to his various appearances in 19th- and 20th-century literature and in drama, film and portraiture. Byromania (as Annabella Milbanke named the reaction to Byron’s poetry and personality), looks at the phenomena of Byronism through a variety of critical perspectives, and is aimed at both an academic and general readership alike.
