Byron and Murray 1820-1824 1 Byron’s Correspondence with John Murray, 3: 1820-1824 [work in progress ] Edited by Peter Cochran Update June 2012. I’m grateful to Paul Curtis for his contribution. My thanks to David McClay, Rachel Beattie, and their colleagues at the National Library of Scotland. I am also very grateful to John and Virginia Murray for permission to quote (where necessary) texts from Byron’s Letters and Journals, ed. Leslie A. Marchand (John Murray 1973-1994). This is referred to as BLJ. LJM: The Letters of John Murray to Lord Byron . Ed. Andrew Nicholson, Liverpool University Press, 2007. Peach: Annette Peach: Portraits of Byron (Walpole Society reprint) 2000. Smiles: Samuel Smiles. A Publisher and his Friends: Memoir and Correspondence of the late John Murray with an Account of the Origin and Progress of the House, 1768-1843 . 2 vols. London John Murray 1891. There are 160 letters here from Byron to Murray, but only 45 from Murray to Byron. One might think, not that Byron was about to sever his relationship with Murray, but that Murray was cooling towards Byron. The imbalance is often a sign of Byron’s frustration at Murray’s long silences – and Murray’s silences seem often to be a result of his bewilderment at being bombarded with non-stop letters from his mercurial author – to say nothing of non-stop poems, plays, and prose works, all in different styles, none of them very commercial. I don’t expect Mrs. Rundell, his other best-seller, was this difficult. Byron’s attitude is summed up on July 6th 1820 with “You must not treat a blood horse as you do your hacks otherwise he’ll bolt out of the course”. Byron is so impatient that he often seems to forget the five-to-six-week time-lag between his sending Murray a letter, and Murray’s answer reaching him, and writes as if e-mails existed. Murray’s poor spelling is perhaps a consequence of stress, perhaps of the need to get his burdensome duty out of the way. Unlike Byron, he never checks through or revises, and he never makes a secretarial neat copy. “As for you you have no opinions of your own – & never had – but are blown about by the last thing said to you no matter [ up right-hand side :] by whom” (Byron to Murray, August 31st 1821). “… no – Murray – you are an excellent fellow –a little variable – & somewhat of the opinion of every body you talk with – (particularly the last person you see) but a good fellow for all that …” (ditto, November 3rd 1821). Low as Byron’s estimate of Murray becomes during these years, he doesn’t want to move to anyone else. Much as one part of him despises Murray’s government connections (as publisher to the Admiralty and so on), another part values the connection it keeps giving him with the establishment – as Murray puts it in characteristic style on September 6th 1821, “I have studiously avoided every party publication & this more strenuously every year and my connexions are I believe even more numerous among the Whigs than the Tories – indeed the Whigs have nearly driven away the Tories from my room – and Jeffray said “if you wish to meet the most respectable of Whe Whigs you must be introduced to M r Murrays room”. Several of Murray’s letters are missing. The most important quotation we have from them is in Byron’s letter to him of March 15th 1822: he has evidently asked Byron for “a poem in the old 2 way to interest the women” – which sums up his dilemma, for Byron is no longer writing them, and is indeed ashamed of having written them at all. As with many of Byron’s letters (and poems) the desire to stir things and create trouble is often perceptible: see his letters of May 10th 1821, August 31st 1821, and October 24th 1822. 1820: In February, Byron moves into the Palazzo Guiccioli. He translates Canto I of Pulci’s Morgante Maggiore , and writes The Prophecy of Dante . Flattered by Alessandro Guiccioli’s comparison between himself and Alfieri, he writes Marino Faliero , the first of his three classical tragedies. In July, Teresa is granted a papal decree of separation, and moves into her father’s house at Filetto. Byron sends his Memoirs to Moore. On December 9th, the military commandant of Ravenna is shot in the street outside the Palazzo Guiccioli, and Byron puts the event into Don Juan V . From Hobhouse to Byron, from Newgate, January 18th 1820: Just one word for your private ear – of course honor bright that you do not let it get round for you know my horror at explanations with booksellers – do not write any thing to Albemarle Street you do not wish to be seen by all the public offices – The man does not mean to do you a mischief – but he is vain, Sir damn’d vain – and for the sake of a paragraph with “my dear M” in it would betray Christ himself. Murray to Byron, from 50, Albemarle Street, London, January 24th 1820: (Source: text from NLS Ms.43496; LJM 304-6) [Milord / Milord Byron / Poste Restante / a Venise / Italie // marked: VENEZIA 11 FEB // redirected to Ravenna] Murray has opened Byron’s to Moore of January 2nd 1820. He also answers Byron’s letter of December 10th 1819. Byron says below in his second letter of May 20th, and again on July 17th, that Murray has not forwarded the letter to Moore. London Jan r 24 – 1820 My Lord As M r Moore is still on the Continent, & uncertain if the Letter might not demand an immediate answer I availed myself of your direction to open it – and pounced at once on all its poetical opuscular – the epigrams are all good 1 & I intend to avail myself of them without hinting at their Author – – I was much disappointed at the change of your intention of visiting England, but I <have> am before the year closes – unless you migrate to South America whose distance is to great for my Pursuits – I had a conversation with M r Kinnaird upon the subject of your liberal proposal respecting Don Juan but as this is almost the only occasion on wch I have found it necessary to disobey your wishes, I hope for your forgiveness. Re-funding is <a> dangerous as a precedent. I admire the poem beyond all measure & am supported in this estimation by every man of judgment in the kingdom – who wish for a few alterations merely to give wings to the rest & so far am I indisposed to receive back the Copy Money – that I would not take double the sum if it were offered to me – the pirate edition is not countenanced by the booksellers & if it were or had any important sale I would sell mine for nothing & give every purchaser a Glass of Gin into the bargain. You will have The Lord Byron 1:2 done me the justice to believe that no personal consideration would have induced me, under the circumstances, to have gone into court, & my process was abandoned the moment I found that the authors name must be given up – wch is rather absurd for this puts an end to all anonymous writing – if a rascal chooses to print Waverley for instance – the bookseller <ca> or proprietor can have no redress unless he disclose the name of the Author – I have printed Don in 8 vo to match the other Poems & again in a Smaller form – the latter not yet published – of the Octavo I have sold 3000 Copies so you see we have circulation in us – I want nothing so much as a third & fourth Canto which I entreat you to compleat for me as progressive to the remaining Twelve. I am anxious to know more of Dantes Prophecy wch is exactly suited to you. 1: To-day it is my wedding day , or Here’s a happy new year! but with reason ; Posterity will ne’er survey / A nobler grave than this ; With death doom’d to grapple / Beneath this cold slab ; and In digging up your bones, Tom Paine … 3 You must know that Blackwoods – commonly called Blackguards – Magazine is a scurrilous publication – I was smitten by some cleverness in it & thought I could have regulated its judicious application – but finding I could not I instantly cut the concern – although I had paid for a half share. It is conducted by Wilson the Author of the Isle of Palms – a man without principle who reviewed Don Juan merely to catch a penny & who is incessantly writing composing & singing – bawdy & blastphemous paraphrases of the Psalms to all the young fellows of Scotland 2 – the publisher has been repeatedly kicked – <wh> & scourged – & persecute 1:3 ed – but he is, perfectly callous a base fellow <to> whom I once introduced to your Lordship & who has gained both honour & profit – as my agent by the sale & reputation of your Lordships Poems – they are a most unprincipled set – To shew how the public taste still obtains for our various writings – I printed a very beautiful edition of the Works 3 Vols 8 vo for £2. 2. 0 N o 3,500 Copies were brought out in April last & they are nea<l>rly all sold – in less than 12 Months – – therefore Moore – I pray you Moore – it is the universal decision that in beauties Don Juan surpasses all that has preceded it – Can you keep up to this? Will you send me a series of Epistles Prose & poetry on Manners &c of Italy? One Octavo Volume? – Capt.

  • John Murray III, 1808-1892, a Brief Memoir
    rrr: JOHN MURRAY III 1808-1892 A BRIEF MEMOIR BY JOHN MURRAY IV WITH PORTRAIT AND ILLUSTRATION LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, W. 1919 PREFACE I HAVE long cherished the desire to attempt the writing of a biography of my Father. The materials for such a work are superabundant, as they were in the case of my Grandfather's life. For over ten years I was engaged in collecting and arranging the correspondence before handing it over to Dr Smiles, but this had to be done in leisure hours, and for many years past such leisure hours have been denied me. With a view to keeping my Father's memory alive before the generation which knew him passes away, I wrote an article which Dr Prothero kindly accepted and published in the 'Quarterly Review.' It has brought me such a large number of gratifying letters, both from friends and strangers ; from those who knew him and those who did not, that I have been persuaded to re- publish it in the somewhat more permanent form of this small volume. I have included several passages which, owing to limits of space, had to be omitted from the ' Quarterly,' and have added my Father's own account of the origin of the Handbooks, and a few extracts from his letters home from 1830 vi PREFACE to 1884, as they will give the reader some idea of the zeal and intelligence which he imported into his travels, and which enabled him to become the Pioneer of Guide Book writers. I have to thank my brother Hallam and my sisters for their assistance in furnishing me with various details and copies of letters.

  • POEMS WRITTEN FOR, TO, OR CONCERNING TERESA GUICCIOLI Edited by Peter Cochran
    1 POEMS WRITTEN FOR, TO, OR CONCERNING TERESA GUICCIOLI edited by Peter Cochran [The poems here complement those in Poems about Italy .] Stanzas to the Po Stornelli To Teresa Guiccioli Francesca of Rimini “Could love for ever …” The Prophecy of Dante The date of birth of Teresa Gamba Ghiselli was unknown until quite recently: she was born in 1798. 1 Educated at Santa Chiara, a school run on principles advanced for the time, she was married to Alessandro Guiccioli – thirty-seven years her senior – on March 7th 1818. She had her first affair, with Cristoforo Ferri, in mid-1818, having met Byron briefly on March 10th of that year, at a Venetian conversazione held by the Countess Albrizzi. They met properly on the night of April 2nd / 3rd 1819 at the Countess Benzoni’s (just after Byron had dispatched Don Juan II to England), and fell in love. It was the last of Byron’s affairs, and lasted in theory until his death in 1824. It was a complete infatuation on both their parts – on being told in 1819 that Teresa was near to death, Byron contemplated suicide. Alessandro Guiccioli – with whom Byron shared an interest in the theatre – tolerated their liaison, and Byron even lived in his palazzo at Ravenna. Byron was friends with Teresa’s father, Ruggiero Gamba, and her brother Pietro, both of whom shared his liberal politics, dangerous in an Italy run by Rome and by the Austrians and Bourbons. The governments persecuted him by forcing the Gambas to move from state to state. I am grateful to Michael Fincham and Valeria Vallucci for their help in making these editions.

  • Byron's Prophecy of Dante and Its Form, Terza Rima
    1 BYRON’S PROPHECY OF DANTE AND ITS FORM, TERZA RIMA ROSEMARIE ROWLEY IRISH BYRON SOCIETY In 1819, on his way to Ravenna to see Teresa Guiccioli, Byron stopped by the Certosa cemetery, where he came upon two epitaphs: “Martini Luigi Implora pace” and “Lucrezia Pinine Implora eterna quiete”. They moved him deeply: “it appears to me that these two and three words comprise and compress all that can be said on the subject – and then in Italian they are absolute Music.”1 It was at the beginning of his love affair with Teresa Guiccioli, and the culmination of his love for Italy. From the wild dissipation of Venice and its carnival comedies, Byron was psychologically prepared to go deeper into the Italian soul, and having met Teresa briefly, at one of Contessa Albrizzi’s conversazioni in Venice, and spoken to her at length two days later at the Contessa Benzoni’s salon: on April 2nd or 3rd, 1819, the two declared their love for one another, for they had loved with “these mysterious sympathies (which) shake the soul too much and frighten one,” as recalled by Teresa in her posthumously published account and as described by Byron’s biographer.2 He found himself engaging completely with Teresa and her culture, physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually, all qualities which were bound up in this convent girl who could recite by heart any part of the Divina Commedia . She was no less struck by him, and extracted a promise from him that he would visit her at her home at Ravenna.

  • Life of Lord Byron: with His Letters and Journals
    LIFE OF LORD BYRON: WITH HIS LETTERS AND JOURNALS. BY THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. IN SIX VOLUMES.—VOL. V. CONTENTS OF VOL. V. LETTERS AND JOURNALS OF LORD BYRON, WITH NOTICES OF HIS LIFE, from October, 1820, to November, 1822. NOTICES OF THE LIFE OF LORD BYRON. LETTER 394. TO MR. MOORE. "Ravenna, October 17. 1820. "You owe me two letters—pay them. I want to know what you are about. The summer is over, and you will be back to Paris. Apropos of Paris, it was not Sophia Gail, but Sophia Gay—the English word Gay—who was my correspondent. Can you tell who she is, as you did of the defunct * *? "Have you gone on with your Poem? I have received the French of mine. Only think of being traduced into a foreign language in such an abominable travesty! It is useless to rail, but one can't help it. "Have you got my Memoir copied? I have begun a continuation. Shall I send it you, as far as it is gone? "I can't say any thing to you about Italy, for the Government here look upon me with a suspicious eye, as I am well informed. Pretty fellows!—as if I, a solitary stranger, could do any mischief. It is because I am fond of rifle and pistol shooting, I believe; for they took the alarm at the quantity of cartridges I consumed,—the wiseacres! "You don't deserve a long letter—nor a letter at all—for your silence. You have got a new Bourbon, it seems, whom they have christened 'Dieu- donné;'—perhaps the honour of the present may be disputed.
