It is commonly seen as a paradox of Byron's literary career that the liberal poet was published by a conservative publishing house. It is less of a paradox when, as this book illustrates, we see John Murray as a competitive, innovative publisher who understood how to deal with his most famous author. The book begins by charting the early years of Murray's success prior to the publication of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and describes Byron's early engagement with the literary marketplace. The book describes in detail how Byron became one of Murray's authors, before documenting the success of their commercial association and the eventual and protracted disintegration of their relationship. Byron wrote more letters to John Murray than anyone else and their correspondence represents a fascinating dialogue on the nature of Byron's poetry, and particularly the nature of his fame. It is the central argument of this book that Byron's ambivalent attitude towards professional writing and popular literature can be illuminated through an understanding of his relationship with John Murray.--Provided by publisher 630 07 $a Correspondence (Byron, George Gordon Byron, Baron) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01779682 600 17 $a Murray, John, $d 1778-1843 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00011561 650 7 $a Poets, English $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067870 650 7 $a Publishers and publishing $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083463 651 7 $a Great Britain $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 600 10 $a Byron, George Gordon Byron, $c Baron, $d 1788-1824 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Murray, John, $d 1778-1843 $x Friends and associates. 650 0 $a Authors and publishers $z England $x History $y 19th century. 600 14 $a Byron, George NoeÌl Gordon, $c Baron Byron, $d 1788-1824. $0 (NL-LeOCL)068387717 600 14 $a Murray, John, $d 1778-1843. $0 (NL-LeOCL)070831971 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Liverpool English texts and studies ; $v 64. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126070520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A9D4B6481F911E58D57CB8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
