Διεθνές Συνέδριο Βύρωνα

Ο Σύνδεσμος Μπάϊρον και το Βασιλικό Κολέγιο Λονδίνου οργανώνουν και παρουσιάζουν από κοινού το 39ο Διεθνές Συνέδριο Μπάϊρον, με θέμα: «Βύρωνας: Η ποίηση της πολιτικής και η πολιτική της ποίησης»!

This conference will examine Byron’s engagement with politics in the widest sense: as a poet, as a member of the House of Lords, as a commentator on his time, and latterly as a would-be revolutionary.
