Review:
'To paraphrase Byron on himself, Byromania may not be 'a mélange of good and evil', but it is a mixture of the good and the provocative. It is to be recommended if it helps to prevent what one of the contributors call 'the ghetto-isation of Byron studies.' - Paul Wright, British Association for Romantic Studies Bulletin & Review
'Byromania offers the reader some fascinating insights into the poet's past and continuing importance as a myth and cultural icon.' - William D. Brewer, Romanticism On the Net
