Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Focusing on Byron's earlier works, Minta examined the association of death and rejection with nostalgia, and Byron's presentation of nostalgia as a form of therapy triggered by both pain and pleasure, before turning his attention to the central role Greece played both in Byron's pervasive nostalgia and the nineteenth century public en mass. Monika Coghen (Krakow) followed with an inspection of the role played by publishers and editors, writers and poets, in Byron's evolution into the central Romantic poet on the Continent, paying particular attention to Byron's influence on authors such as de Stäel and Stendhal, and how their perceptions of Byron, reflected in their works, entered the wider European consciousness. Shona Allan (Cologne) then turned to the alimentary and culinary discourse of Don Juan and considered the ubiquity of scenes of hunger and appetite in the poem, analysing in detail the grotesquery of the ship- wreck scenes.
