  • Byron's Romantic Adventures in Spain
    1 BYRON’S ROMANTIC ADVENTURES IN SPAIN RICHARD A. CARDWELL UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM I On the July 2nd 1809, after several delays with the weather, Byron set off from Falmouth on the Lisbon Packet, The Princess Elizabeth , on his Grand Tour of the Mediterranean world not controlled by France. Four and a half days later he landed in Lisbon. From there, across a war-ravaged Portugal and Spain, he headed on horseback to Seville and Cádiz, accompanied by Hobhouse, details recorded in the latter’s diary. But we know little of Byron’s stay in Seville and Cádiz save what he relates in a letter to his mother, Catherine Byron, from Gibraltar dated August 11th 1809. It is ironic that Byron never saw her in life again. The first part of the letter reads as follows: Seville is a beautiful town, though the streets are narrow they are clean, we lodged in the house of two Spanish unmarried ladies, who possess six houses in Seville, and gave me a curious specimen of Spanish manners. They are women of character, and the eldest a fine woman, the youngest pretty but not so good a figure as Donna Josepha, the freedom of woman which is general here astonished me not a little, and in the course of further observation I find that reserve is not the characteristic of the Spanish belles, who are on general very handsome, with large black eyes, and very fine forms. – The eldest honoured your unworthy son with very particular attention, embracing him with great tenderness at parting (I was there but three days) after cutting off a lock of his hair, & presenting him with one of her own about three feet in length, which I send, and beg you will retain till my return.

KIERKEGAARD AND BYRON: DISABILITY, IRONY, AND THE UNDEAD A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English The University of Mississippi by TROY WELLINGTON SMITH May 2015 Copyright © 2015 by Troy Wellington Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT After enumerating the implicit and explicit references to Lord Byron in the corpus of Søren Kierkegaard, chapter 1, “Kierkegaard and Byron,” provides a historical backdrop by surveying the influence of Byron and Byronism on the literary circles of Golden Age Copenhagen. Chapter 2, “Disability,” theorizes that Kierkegaard later spurned Byron as a hedonistic “cripple” because of the metonymy between him and his (i.e., Kierkegaard’s) enemy Peder Ludvig Møller. Møller was an editor at The Corsair, the disreputable satirical newspaper that mocked Kierkegaard’s disability in a series of caricatures. As a poet, critic, and eroticist, Møller was eminently Byronic, and both he and Byron had served as models for the titular character of Kierkegaard’s “The Seducer’s Diary.” Chapter 3, “Irony,” claims that Kierkegaard felt a Bloomian anxiety of Byron’s influence.

  • Hegelian Master-Slave Dialectics: Lord Byron's Sardanapalus
    English Language and Literature Studies; Vol. 3, No. 1; 2013 ISSN 1925-4768 E-ISSN 1925-4776 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Hegelian Master-Slave Dialectics: Lord Byron’s Sardanapalus Marziyeh Farivar1, Roohollah R.

Tel: 60-173-264-628. E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 12, 2012 Accepted: January 3, 2013 Online Published: January 17, 2013 doi:10.5539/ells.v3n1p16 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ells.v3n1p16 Abstract This paper intends to discuss Byron’s “Sardanapalus” by focusing on the Hegelian master-slave dialectics. Written in 1821, “Sardanapalus” presents some trends about Lord Byron’s creation of the Byronic Hero. The Byronic hero is emotional, dreamy, and impulsive. Sardanapalus, the Byronic hero, is the Assyrian King who possesses the complicated nature of both master and slave which is the focus of this article. There are encounters of masters and slaves that consciously and unconsciously take place in this dramatic verse. Sardanapalus’ relationships to his mistress, his brother-in-law and the citizens involve a complex thesis and anti-thesis. Hegelian dialectics reflect the processes of recognition of consciousness through such thesis and anti-thesis. Bondage and lordship and dependency and independency are concepts that are within these processes. Hegel explains that the identity and role of the master and slave can be recognized when they are interacting.

  • Poems About Poets
    1 BYRON’S POEMS ABOUT POETS Some of the funniest of Byron’s poems spring with seeming spontaneity from his pen in the middle of his letters. Much of this section comes from correspondence, though there is some formal verse. Several pieces are parodies, some one-off squibs, some full-length. Byron’s distaste for most of the poets of his day shines through, with the recurrent and well-worn traditional joke that their books will end either as stuffing in hatshops, wrapped around pastries, or as toilet-tissue. Byron admired the English poets of the past – the Augustans especially – much more than he did any of his contemporaries. Of “the Romantic Movement” he knew no more than did any of the other writers supposed now to have been members of it. Southey he loathed, as a dreadful doppelgänger – see below. Of Wordsworth he also had a low opinion, based largely on The Excursion – to the ambitions of which Don Juan can be regarded as a riposte (there are as many negative comments about Wordsworth in Don Juan as there are about Southey). He was as abusive of Keats as it’s possible to be, and only relented (as he said), when Shelley showed him Hyperion. Of the poetry of his friend Shelley he was very guarded indeed, and compensated by defending Shelley’s moral reputation. Blake he seems not to have known (“Blake” was him the name of a well-known Fleet Street barber). The only poet of whom his judgement and modern estimate coincide is Coleridge: he was strong in his admiration for The Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, and Christabel; about the conversational poems he seems blank, and he feigns total incomprehension of the Biographia Literaria (see below).

  • Byronic Heroism Byronic Heroism Refers to a Radical and Revolutionary
    Byronic Heroism Byronic heroism refers to a radical and revolutionary brand of heroics explored throughout a number of later English Romantic and Victorian works of literature, particularly in the epic narrative poems of the English Romantic poet Lord Byron, including Manfred, Don Juan, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, the Giaour, and The Corsair. The figure of the Byronic hero was among the most potent and popular character archetypes developed during the late English Romantic period. While traditional literary heroes are usually marked by their valor, intrinsic goodness, commitment to righteous political and social causes, honesty, courage, propriety, and utter selflessness, Byronic heroes are defined by rather different character traits, many of which are partially or even entirely opposed to standard definitions of heroism. Unlike most traditional heroic figures, Byronic heroes are often deeply psychologically tortured and reluctant to identify themselves, in any sense, as heroic. Byronic heroes tend to exhibit many of the following personality traits: cynicism, arrogance, absolute disrespect for authority, psychological depth, emotional moodiness, past trauma, intelligence, nihilism, dark humor, self-destructive impulses, mysteriousness, sexual attractiveness, world- weariness, hyper-sensitivity, social and intellectual sophistication, and a sense of being exiled or outcast both physically and emotionally from the larger social world. Byronic heroes can be understood as being rather akin, then, to anti-heroes (unlike Byronic heroes, though, anti-heroes tend to be rather reluctant or helpless heroes). Byronic heroes are often committed not to action on behalf of typically noble causes of “good,” but, instead, to the cause of their own self-interest, or to combatting prevailing and oppressive social and political establishments, or to particular problems or injustices in which they take a particular and often personal interest.

  • Turkish Tales” – the Siege of Corinth and Parisina – Were Still to Come
    1 THE CORSAIR and LARA These two poems may make a pair: Byron’s note to that effect, at the start of Lara, leaves the question to the reader. I have put them together to test the thesis. Quite apart from the discrepancy between the heroine’s hair-colour (first pointed out by E.H.Coleridge) it seems to me that the protagonists are different men, and that to see the later poem as a sequel to and political development of the earlier, is not of much use in understanding either. Lara is a man of uncontrollable violence, unlike Conrad, whose propensity towards gentlemanly self-government is one of two qualities (the other being his military incompetence) which militates against the convincing depiction of his buccaneer’s calling. Conrad, offered rescue by Gulnare, almost turns it down – and is horrified when Gulnare murders Seyd with a view to easing his escape. On the other hand, Lara, astride the fallen Otho (Lara, 723-31) would happily finish him off. Henry James has a dialogue in which it is imagined what George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda would do, once he got to the Holy Land.1 The conclusion is that he’d drink lots of tea. I’m working at an alternative ending to Götterdämmerung, in which Brunnhilde accompanies Siegfried on his Rheinfahrt, sees through Gunther and Gutrune at once, poisons Hagen, and gets bored with Siegfried, who goes off to be a forest warden while she settles down in bed with Loge, because he’s clever and amusing.2 By the same token, I think that Gulnare would become irritated with Conrad, whose passivity and lack of masculinity she’d find trying.

Notable writers from this period include Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, the Shelleys, and John Keats, among many others. In this course we will explore how their works react to important contemporary political events, reconstruct a gothic past, draw on the supernatural, and incorporate spontaneity and imagination. Our specific goal in this course is to study how the ‘powers of the imagination’ lead some of the most well-known Romantic authors to craft brilliant and inventive essays, fiction, poetry, and dramatic literature. As such, we will spend our time examining these authors’ inspirations for writing, means of composition, and conceptions of the purpose of literature, as well as its effects on the individual and society-at-large. We are about to study some of the most beautiful literature ever written in the English language. Get ready to be inspired! Get ready to become an enthusiastic, active participant in this course by contributing discussion questions about our readings, completing reading responses, giving a formal class presentation on scholarly criticism, and conversing informally with your classmates about our course materials.

With equal power he has shocked, estranged, angered, and enraged his antagonists. He has been loved and adored as a heroic champion of the oppressed masses, and shunned as an evil genius. His extremes of temperament have earned him the label manic depressive—a catch-all disorder that has become an abyss into which current researchers have system atically thrust scores of the world's best-known, exception ally creative minds.

  • DAL GOLEM ALLA CREATURA DI MARY SHELLEY: FRANKENSTEIN TRA MITO, SCIENZA E LETTERATURA Angela Articoni*
    DAL GOLEM ALLA CREATURA DI MARY SHELLEY: FRANKENSTEIN TRA MITO, SCIENZA E LETTERATURA Angela Articoni* Mi concepì. Presi forma come un neonato, non nel suo corpo, ma nel suo cuore, mi sviluppai nella sua immaginazione finché trovai il coraggio di uscire dalla pagina e di entrare nella vostra mente. Lita Jugde1 Abstract: The similarity between Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the Golem of Jewish folklore is no mere coincidence. The Golem’s introduction on early nineteenth century German literature – ironically at the hands of two avowed anti˗Semites, Jacob Grimm and Ludwig Achim von Arnim – may have enabled the novelist Mary Shelley to rediscover it. In addition, being aware of the avant˗garde scientific research that was being carried out at the time, Mary Shelley also took inspiration from her many readings to incorporate mythological and theological debates related to science. Keywords: Golem, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, Scientific discoveries, Gothic literature, Childrenʼs literature. Frankenstein ovvero il Prometeo moderno Il nome Prometeo, in greco Promethéus, significa “colui che riflette prima”, saggezza e intelligenza sono, infatti, le sue doti principali. È un titano di seconda generazione – figlio di Giapeto e di Climene, figlia di Oceano – sempre dalla parte degli uomini, in contrasto con il dio supremo Zeus, del quale rappresenta in un certo senso l’antitesi.

  • Shelley Meagher – Politics and Persian Mythology in Irish Poetry
    Shelley Meagher Politics and Persian Mythology in Irish Poetry IN 1809 LORD BYRON was prevented by the Napoleonic wars from taking the European Grand Tour. He instead sailed south, through the straits of Gibraltar and across the Mediterranean, to tour Greece and Turkey. On his return he published the first two Cantos of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812), a poem whose hero follows in Byron’s wake eastwards. Gratified by the acclaim Childe Harold received, Byron next published two action poems set in Turkey, The Giaour (1813) and The Bride of Abydos (1813). These fluent ‘Turkish Tales’, as he called them, sold very well and whetted the public’s appetite. On the day Byron’s next Turkish tale, The Corsair, came out in 1814, it sold 10,000 copies. There was one problem. For two and a half years Byron’s friend, Thomas Moore, had been composing a poem set in the Persianate cultures of Mughal India and Persia (as Europeans then termed Iran). Moore was alert to differences between Turkish and Persian culture. But to the general public, both cultures were simply eastern. When sales of Byron’s Turkish poems rocketed, Moore fretted that Byron had stolen his opportunity. Byron tried to allay Moore’s fears. ‘Stick to the East!’ he wrote to Moore in May 1813. ‘The little I have done . is only a “voice in the wilderness” for you; and, if it has had any success, that will only prove that the public is orientalising, and pave the way for you.’1 When, six months later, Byron proceeded to pave Moore’s way further with The Corsair, he knew very well that Moore would be alarmed.
