Byron’s Religions
ISBN: 9781443828499 / Twarda / 2011 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron’s Religions is the most comprehensive study yet of the poet’s deep, diverse and eclectic attitude to religion. The articles, by several well-known and distinguished scholars, cover many of his poems and plays, taking in Anglicanism, Catholicism, Blasphemy, Calvinism, Gnosticism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. The tentative conclusion is that Byron was never the atheist which the cliché has him to be, but a man whose profound need for a faith clashed always with an equally profound scepticism.

Byron and Italy
ISBN: 9781443835763 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 385 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron and Italy tackles a subject to which no book has been devoted exclusively since the early 1940s. Peter Cochran writes not just about Byron's relationships with Italian literature, not just about his relationships with Italian women, and not just about his relationship with Italian politics. He writes about Byron's relationship with Italy as a whole, seeing the poet's sojourn in Italy as a vain attempt to forge a new identity for himself. Drawing on a wide range of up-to-date research, including his own as editor of Teresa Guiccioli's Lord Byron's Life in Italy and the diary of John Cam...

Byron and Hobby-O: Lord Byron’s Relationship with John Cam Hobhouse
ISBN: 9781443821490 / Twarda / 2010 / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron and Hobby-O is about the relationship between Byron and his supposed best friend, John Cam Hobhouse. It is the first full-length biographical study of Hobhouse in over fifty years, and is much franker and more intimate than anything preceding. It shows how, while the two men were initially collaborators and rivals, Byron rapidly outstretched Hobhouse in poetry, while Hobhouse, in the longer term, outstretched Byron in politics.
It shows how long acquaintance with the elusive and chameleonic Byron turned Hobhouse into a canter and humbug of the kind Byron hated, and concludes with...

Byron and Bob: Lord Byron’s Relationship with Robert Southey
ISBN: 9781443818445 / Twarda / 2010 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron and Bob is the first book ever to be dedicated to the most important literary relationship in Byron’s career – that with the Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, whom he hated, and to whom he “dedicated” his most important poem, Don Juan. Drawing on much unseen manuscript material, Peter Cochran shows that although Byron’s antipathy towards Southey was at first a normal literary distaste, it became, the more he ingested his private image of Southey, a projected self-distrust, a dislike of everything in himself with which he was unhappy.
The book has as appendix a double edition... Byron and Bob is the first book ever to be dedicated to the most important literary relationship in Byron’s career – that with the Poet Laureate, ...

Byronâ (Tm)S Romantic Politics: The Problem of Metahistory
ISBN: 9781443832830 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 395 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron exists in two incompatible dimensions: as fully-documented history, and as romantic myth. Often the myth predominates, describing him as a passionate lover, a staunch friend, a great romantic poet, a champion of the working man, a loyal author to his publisher, and a fighter for democracy who sacrificed his life for the Freedom of Greece. This book attempts to prove that the verifiable truth often proves him to be the opposite. Using letters from Byron's family, friends, and associates which have never been transcribed, collected and sequenced before, Peter Cochran argues that the poet...

The Farmer's Boy by Robert Bloomfield: A Parallel Text Edition
ISBN: 9781443853651 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Robert Bloomfield's The Farmer's Boy was the most successful poem of the Romantic period, selling 100,000 copies between 1800 and 1830. However, what was marketed was not the poem which the working-class Bloomfield had written, but a highly polished, politely spelled and punctuated re-write, prepared by the local squire, who deliberately covered up the fact that Bloomfield had written originally for a Suffolk voice, with Suffolk vowel-sounds and Suffolk idioms.This edition prints Bloomfield's first manuscript, and then has a parallel text of the polished first edition, opposite Bloomfield's...

Byron and Latin Culture: Selected Proceedings of the 37th International Byron Society Conference
ISBN: 9781443851275 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 465 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron and Latin Culture consists of twenty-three papers, most of which were given at the 37th International Byron Conference at Valladolid, Spain, in July 2011. An introduction by the editor describes in detail the huge influence which the major Latin poets had on Byron: his borrowings, imitations, parodies, and echoes have never been catalogued in such detail, and it becomes clear that many ideas central to Don Juan, in particular, derive from Ovid, Virgil, Petronius, Martial and the other great classical writers. There are substantial sections on the ways Byron was influenced by, and in...

Byron and Orientalism
ISBN: 9781904303909 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Of all the English Romantic poets Byron is often thought of as the one who was most familiar with the East. His travels, it is claimed, give him a huge advantage with which contemporaries like Southey, Moore, Shelley, and Coleridge, who had comparable orientalist ambitions, could not compete. Byron and Orientalism sets out to examine this thesis. It looks at Byron's knowledge of the East, and of its religions in particular, in greater detail than ever before. Essays are included on Byron's Turkish Tales, Edward Said's attitude to Byron, Byron's version of Islam, Byron's Hebrew Melodies, and...

Manfred: An Edition of Byron's Manuscripts and a Collection of Essays
ISBN: 9781443872072 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The play Manfred is one of Byron's most famous and influential works. It established him throughout Europe as a bold, blasphemous genius. It inspired music by Tchaikovsky and Schumann, and was admired by, and influenced, Richard Wagner, whose uncle made one of its eighteen German translations. Going back to the primary manuscripts, Peter Cochran has created a new text of Manfred, so that it can at last be read as it left Byron's pen, untouched by professional polishers, too anxious to impose a formal syntax on his fluent and spontaneous style. Cochran has - through a careful study of the...

Byronâ (Tm)S Poetry
ISBN: 9781443838931 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Byron's dubious status as a sex object, and his even more dubious status as a political icon, serves to disguise the fact that he is one of the greatest of all English poets, with a European reputation second only to Shakespeare. The fact that writers such as Goethe and Pushkin held him in the highest regard ensures that the English continue to despise him, and ignore his verse as much as possible. This book ignores his sexuality, his politics, and his iconography, and concentrates on his poems. Written by leading authorities such as Bernard Beatty, Germaine Greer and Michael O'Neill, it...
