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'. Volume 1 continues the account of travels through
Greece to Athens, and ends with a review of the modern Greek
language and its emerging literature. During their journey, Byron
was writing Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: on its publication in 1812,
as he said, 'I awoke one morning and found myself famous'."
