Byron - The Image of the Poet

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Christine Kenyon Jones Klappentext The fame of the Romantic poet Lord Byron rests not only on his work but also on the way he looked and the way he was portrayed during his lifetime and after his death. Originating in a conference held at the National Portrait Gallery in London, this is the first collection of essays to be published on the visual aspects of Byron and Romanticism. Topics explored include Byron's relations with the artists who portrayed him and those who commissioned portraits of him (including his publisher) and his self-image and its expression in his work. Illustrated.
