This collection of essays by leading Byronists explores the development of the myth of Byron and the Byronic from the poet's self-representations to his various appearances in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and in drama, film and portraiture. Byromania (as Annabella Milbanke named the frenzied reaction to Byron's poetry and personality) looks at the phenomena of Byronism through a variety of critical perspectives, and it is designed to appeal to both an academic and a popular readership alike.

Rezensionen
'To paraphrase Byron on himself, Byromania may not be 'a mélange of good and evil', but it is a mixture of the good and the provocative. It is to be recommended if it helps to prevent what one of the contributors call 'the ghetto-isation of Byron studies.' - Paul Wright, British Association for Romantic Studies Bulletin & Review

'Byromania offers the reader some fascinating insights into the poet's past and continuing importance as a myth and cultural icon.' - William D. Brewer, Romanticism On the Net
