Reviews
'This new work about Byron and his contribution to the Greek insurgency, by Roderick Beaton, a professor at King's College London, is the first to draw deeply on Greek as well as British sources. As a biographer of George Seferis, the Greek poet and Nobel Laureate, Mr Beaton is well placed to plunge into Athenian historiographical debates and the broader Hellenic search for self-understanding. … a formidable array of detail …' The Economist, 'Byron's War is a superb portrait of a complex personality. Drawing upon new archival research into the bitter civil wars between rival revolutionary factions, Beaton has constructed a gripping narrative of Byron's self-transformation from Philhellene to a pragmatic and courageous politicker. Far from playing at soldiers or sentimentalising the klephts, Byron was a moderniser and internationalist who saw the Greek revolution as a crucible whose future constitution might inspire the transformation of Europe.' Caroline Franklin, Swansea University, "... occasionally a new book comes along that shakes the kaleidoscope and allows us to see him and parts of his life in a new way. Roderick Beaton's book is one such ... it is the merit of the book that it raises big questions that will be argued over, and changes the terms on which they will be approached." The Anglo-Hellenic Review, Advance praise: 'There is nothing else like this book, for Beaton stands alone in his knowledge not just of the English and Greek sources, but also the English and Greek contemporary context. Byron's War changes our understanding of what Byron was trying to do in Greece, and will be the starting point for all subsequent discussions of the topic.' David Roessel, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, "There is nothing else like this book, for Beaton stands alone in his knowledge not just of the English and Greek sources, but also the English and Greek contemporary context. Byron's War changes our understanding of what Byron was trying to do in Greece, and will be the starting point for all subsequent discussions of the topic." --Professor David Roessel, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, 'There is nothing else like this book, for Beaton stands alone in his knowledge not just of the English and Greek sources, but also the English and Greek contemporary context.

Caroline Franklin, Swansea University, "Byron's War is a fascinating and essential read for any further work on Byron, but it is also a stellar example about how our understanding of nineteenth-century Britain's engagement with "the east" and "the south" can be truly transformed - neither a fantasy, nor a one-way street." Adela Pinch, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, "Byron's War is a superb portrait of a complex personality.

Synopsis
Roderick Beaton re-examines Lord Byron's life and writing through the long trajectory of his relationship with Greece. Beginning with the poet's youthful travels in 1809-1811, Beaton traces his years of fame in London and self-imposed exile in Italy, that culminated in the decision to devote himself to the cause of Greek independence. Then comes Byron's dramatic self-transformation, while in Cephalonia, from Romantic rebel to 'new statesman', subordinating himself for the first time to a defined, political cause, in order to begin laying the foundations, during his 'hundred days' at Missolonghi, for a new kind of polity in Europe - that of the nation-state as we know it today. Byron's War draws extensively on Greek historical sources and other unpublished documents to tell an individual story that also offers a new understanding of the significance that Greece had for Byron, and of Byron's contribution to the origin of the present-day Greek state., The story of Lord Byron's involvement with Greece and the Greek War of Independence has often been told, but this study, by a leading scholar, throws new light on the impact of Greece on British Romanticism, on Byron's relationship with Greece, and on the making of the modern Greek state., Roderick Beaton re-examines Lord Byron's life and writing through the long trajectory of his relationship with Greece.
