BYRONS TRAVELS - LORD BYRON GEBUNDEN

In Lord Byron's lifetime  details of his travels were widely known through poems set in
different countries  ranging from his homes in Scotland and England  through Europe and the
Middle East  to the South Pacific and into extra-terrestrial realms. At the same time  a much
more personal story was being shared with friends and family. Even when divided from those
whose company he most enjoyed  Byron continued to share his thoughts and feelings about
wherever he happened to be. His compulsive letter-writing reveals a strong desire to reach
across space  to connect and reconnect with those elsewhere. While his memoirs did not survive
the ceremonial posthumous bonfire at 50 Albemarle Street  many of Byron's correspondents
treasured every word in their possession. This means a remarkable legacy has been preserved in
letters that still seem as alive with conversational energy as when they were dashed off more
than two hundred years ago. Through Byron's letters and journals  we are still able to become
mental travellers  transported across time and space by this brilliant  mercurial  magnificent
and often maddening writer.
