Carla Pomarè

Byron and the Discourses of History (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In her study of the relationship between Byron's lifelong interest in history and the development of history as a discipline, Carla Pomarè focuses on how Byron's writings interact with a variety of historiographical texts ranging from monographs to dictionaries. Calling attention to Byron's massive use of paratexts, she discusses how historical discourses supplied epistemological models that shaped his preoccupation with the transmission of historical knowledge and its ideological uses.
