\"\"<\/p>\n

Published anonymously in the summer of 1819, the first two cantos of Byron\u2019s \u2018satirical epic\u2019 Don Juan provided the reading public with a work which self-consciously raised and challenged received ideas about fame, originality, and
\nliterary merit and was admired and reviled in almost equal measure.<\/p>\n

Don Juan became an overnight sensation, inspiring countless attacks against their sexual and religious infidelities, the bitingly acerbic social and political commentaries, the horrifying burlesquing of scenes of death and destruction,
\nand the generalised irreverence. While some were shuddering with outrage, others saw the significant commercial opportunities offered by Byron\u2019s \u2018Donny Jonny\u2019, with parodies, musical adaptations, and \u2018new\u2019 Cantos\u00a0flooding the
\nmarket alongside the numerous pirated copies.<\/p>\n

Conference Fees (includes coffees, lunch and a sparkling wine reception):<\/strong>
\nStudents: \u00a320
\nMembers of any Byron Society: \u00a340
\nNon-members: \u00a360<\/p>\n
