This unique collection of lectures honors the pioneering work in
Byron studies of Leslie Alexis Marchand, who has had an enduring
influence on the appreciation and study of Lord Byron for sixty
years. Generations of readers and writers have come to Byron
through his biographies and his edition of the poet's letters and
journals. All admirers of Byron respond to the verve, dash, and
immediacy of his correspondence, which lies at the heart of
Marchand's biographies and offers us a portrait based on the poet's
views of himself and his times. No one has so powerfully and
judiciously allowed Byron's life to emerge from the testimony of
his letters. Many readers, from his contemporaries to our day, have
refused to separate the poet from his troubled dark heroes, and see
little but strands of autobiography in the poems. But the letters
and journals reveal him in a very different light. Leslie Marchand
provided these documents for the first time in their unexpurgated
and authoritative form. This collection pays tribute to Marchand's
careful scholarship and scrupulous attention to the limits of
interpretation. Marchand's continued relevance to Byron studies
derives in part from the work undertaken by those inspired by his
labors as editor and interpreter; many of whom are represented in
this collection. Three opening essays bear personal witness to his
fervent support for young scholars, his depth of expertise and
appeal as a teacher, and his commitment to encouraging others to
join him on his Byron pilgrimage. The lectures themselves represent
such diverse disciplines as literary theory, psychiatry, publishing
history, comparative literature, drama, political history,
revolutionary politics in literature and music, literary criticism,
textual editing and selection, and literary influence. A chronology
and a bibliography provide an overview of his life and scholarship.

Publishing, Editing, and Reception is a collection of twelve essays
honoring Professor Donald H. Reiman, who moved to the University of
Delaware in 1992. The essays, written by friends, students, and
collaborators, reflect the scholarly interests that defined
Reiman's long career. Mirroring the focus of Reiman's work during
his years at Carl H. Pforzheimer Library in New York and as lead
editor of Shelley and his Circle, 1773-1822 (Harvard University
Press), the essays in this collection explore authors such as Mary
Shelley, William Hazlitt, Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley;
moreover, they confirm the continuing influence of Reiman's
writings in the fields of editing and British Romanticism. Ranging
from topics such as Byron's relationship with his publisher John
Murray and the reading practices in the Shelley circle to Rudyard
Kipling's response to Shelley's politics, these essays draw on a
dazzling variety of published and manuscript sources while engaging
directly with many of Reiman's most influential theories and
arguments.
The papers collected in this volume, first published in 1993, were
delivered at Hofstra University in October 1988 at a conference
celebrating the bicentennial of Lord Byron's birth. The shared goal
of these essays was to reassess Byron's poetry, his poetic
development, and his relation to his contemporaries in light of
recent scholarship and criticism. This title will be of interest to
students of literature.
