\u2018Byron Among the Poets\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n A symposium at All Souls College, University of Oxford<\/p>\n Saturday 13th\u00a0<\/sup>\u2013 Sunday 14th\u00a0<\/sup>January 2018<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Registrations are invited for a two-day symposium on Lord Byron\u2019s literary relationships to poets from Virgil to Auden. In a series of papers by leading scholars, we will be mapping out the range and richness of Byron\u2019s connectivity: what other poets meant to him, and what he meant to those who came after. Join us to explore the ways Byron might be thought to be \u2013 perhaps more than most \u2013 \u2018among\u2019 the poets: alluding and alluded to; collaborative; competitive; parodied; worked and reworked in canons, anthologies and editions. Papers will focus on the contours of individual literary relationships (what did Byron get from Pope? how did Eliot read Byron?), as well as exploring larger questions about the nature of poetic exchange, technical influence and generic formation.<\/p>\n Speakers: Dr Clare Bucknell (Oxford), Dr Madeleine Callaghan (Sheffield), Dr Anna Camilleri (Oxford), Professor Richard Cronin (Glasgow), Professor Nicholas Halmi (Oxford), Professor Simon K\u00f6vesi (Oxford Brookes), Dr Tom Lockwood (Birmingham), Professor Michael O\u2019Neill (Durham), Dr Fred Parker (Cambridge), Professor Seamus Perry (Oxford), Professor Christopher Ricks (Boston), Professor Jane Stabler (St Andrews), Dr Matthew Ward (Birmingham), Dr Ross Wilson (Cambridge), Mr Andrew Wynn Owen (Oxford).<\/p>\n Registration is\u00a0free<\/strong>\u00a0and includes lunch on both days.
