Wars and Words: 46th International Byron Conference

Wars and Words: 46th International Byron Conference The official page of the 46th International Byron Conference. We look forward to welcoming you to this virtual event!

This year the conference will be a virtual event between the 28th of June and 4th of July 2021. Welcome to the International Byron Virtual Conference 2021
The 46th IBC will explore how war in all its meanings, symbolisms, and manifestations influenced Byron’s words and worlds, and shaped his poetic and political sensibility. Drawing on recent scholarship in Romantic studies, it will also explore R

omantic authors’ preoccupations with war, and how these intersected with Byron’s. The conference will coincide with the 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence of 1821, a landmark event that will be celebrated throughout the country.
