Episode 24: My Peek Into the Life of Byron - MING Studios Public Archive Series

In 1824, Thomas Medwin published his book, “Journal of the conversations of Lord Byron noted during a residence with his lordship at Pisa, in the years 1821 and 1822". It was a response to the burning of Byron's memoirs by his publisher, which Medwin considered a betrayal of both Byron and the public. Today's episode is an excerpt from the beginning of this book, describing Medwin's first introduction to Byron ––– a vivid and delightful window into his personality, a moment of his life and the era.
