John Cam Hobhouse, later Lord Broughton (1786 1869), became a
friend of Byron when they were at Cambridge, and was frequently his
travelling companion. He first published an account of their
journey to Albania and Greece in 1814, and reissued this updated
and corrected two-volume version in 1855, after his retirement from
public life. (His memoirs are also reissued in the Cambridge
Library Collection.) In September 1809 Byron and Hobhouse were in
Malta, and took the opportunity of a passing ship to go to Preveza
in Epirus, making their way to the court of Ali Pasha, the 'tyrant
of Ioannina'. Travelling further into Greece, they arrived in
Athens, and then crossed to Asia Minor, where they had an audience
at Istanbul with Sultan Mahmud II. During this period, Byron was
writing Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: on its publication in 1812, as
he said, 'I awoke one morning and found myself famous'."
