    of the Romantic era, to be delivered at the meeting of the Byron Society of

    addressing any aspect of the political commitments, ideologies, and/or
    interventions of Byron's writings, including poetry, prose, letters, and
    speeches. Subjects could include Byron's career as a Whig, his
    revolutionary efforts, his depictions of colonialism and empire, the gender
    politics of his writings, the politics of his attacks upon and allegiances
    with other writers, his political satires, romantic nationalism (Irish,
    Greek, Scottish, Jewish, etc.) in his works, his anti-war writings, his
    newspaper squib-writing, or politically-motivated reactions to his works in
    periodical reviews.
