Lord Byron in Context is the title of a volume of critical essays on Lord Byron, one of the most celebrated poets of the Romantic period, a peer of the realm and a celebrity in his time. This volume published by Cambridge University Press and capably edited by Professor Clara Tuite, is a collection of concise essays by a team of 'leading international scholars' exploring the social and intertextual relations that inspired Byron’s poetry, the geopolitical contexts in which he travelled, lived and worked, as well as the diverse cultures of reception that mark the ongoing Byron phenomenon over the last two centuries.
Professor Peter Vassallo has contributed a chapter in this volume on Byron: European Reactions.
