The Byron Journal is an international publication published annually by The Byron Society. It publishes scholarly articles and notes on all aspects of Byron's writings and life, and on related topics. Since its inception in 1973, the journal has become widely read in many different countries. Apart from providing a forum for leading authorities on Byron and news of significant events and conferences in the Byron year, the Journal also reviews all major works on the poet and prides itself on the speed with which new books are reviewed. There is a Byroniana section with news from the Sales Rooms, reviews of performances of Byron's plays or musical events associated with him, and Letters to the Editor. Contributions for all parts of the journal and suggestions for review are always welcome.
