Richard Cardwell was given the Elma Dangerfield Award of the
International Byron Society for the best book on Byron in 2005-06.
Byron, arguably, was and remains the most famous and infamous
English poet in the modern period in Continental Europe. From
Portugal in the West to Russia in the East, from Scandinavia in the
North to Spain in the South he inspired and provoked, was adored
and reviled, inspired notions of freedom in subject lands and, with
it, the growth of national idealisms which, soon, would re-draw the
map of Europe. At the same time the Byronic persona, incarnate in
"Childe Harold", "Manfred", "Lara" and others, was received with
enthusiasm and fear as experience demonstrated that Byron's
Romantic outlook was two-edged, thrilling and appalling in the same
moment. All the great writers-Goethe, Mickiewicz, Lermontov,
Almeida Garret, Espronceda, Lamartine, among many others-strove to
outdo, imitate, revise, and integrate the sublime Lord into their
own cultures, to create new national voices, and to dissent from
the old order. The volume explores Byron's European reception in
its many guises, bringing new evidence, challenging old
assumptions, and offering fresh perspectives on the protean impact
of Lord Byron on the Continent. This book consistes of two volumes.

This volume of essays constitutes a critical reappraisal of a
front-rank world author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. Apart from extending
critical appreciation of his work to an English-reading public, its
principal objective is to reflect the breadth and variety of
critical approaches to literature applied to a single corpus of
writing; here, the major novels (including Love in the Times of
Cholera, 1986) and a selection of his short fiction are considered.
The aim of this collection, given these dual objectives, is to
extend knowledge of the work of Garcia Marquez and introduce to
both the general reader and to students of literature a plurality
of current critical approaches to his rich variety of fictional
techniques. The volume also includes a bibliography of criticism
available in English and an English translation of the author's
Stockholm Nobel acceptance address.
