Alice Levine's lecture suited the conference and invoked the legacy of Leslie A. Marchand most admirably. Since the publication of her critical edition of Byron's Poetry and Prose (Norton, 2010), Professor Levine has had to answer many times the question, 'Why didn't you include [insert your missing favourite here]?' Levine's lecture was a thoughtful answer to this question which she supplemented with a spreadsheet outlining which 'favourites' did make it into eight of the most recognised editions beginning with Swinburne's Moxon edition (1866) and including Auden's (NAL, 1966), McGann's (OUP, 2000) and her own. According to Markus, it was Byron who effectively ended the marriage via a letter he wrote at 13 Piccadilly to Lady Byron, then present in the house. [...]Byron knew very well before writing the letter that it would be insufficient to produce a legal separation. [...]the ceremony, we enjoyed a traditional Greek dinner hosted by the Messolonghi Byron Society at Theoxenia Hotel, together with a display of traditional Greek dancing which conference attendees joined in with at the end. [...]he argued that an identification with the wind represents an identification with freedom from socio-political constraints, making Ode to the West Wind a meditation upon the chains of a historical time.
