This volume includes selected proceedings of the 38th International Byron Conference, Notre Dame University, Lebanon, early July, 2012. Articles are devoted exclusively to Byron’s handing of the poetry and prose genres, specifically in Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Don Juan, his Oriental Tales, and other significant works, as well as to his journals and letters. Articles concentrate on Byron’s unequivocal use of satire as basic genre and on his modern projections, manipulations, and use of poetic modes. The impact of Byron’s genre on European and world literatures is also discussed in a few articles exposing Byronism as an ever-growing world literary discourse.

يضمّ هذا الكتاب مداخلات لمحاضرين شاركوا في المؤتمر العالميّ الــ 38 حول اللورد بيرون الذي عقد في جامعة سيّدة اللويزة أوائل تمّوز 2012. تركّز المداخلات بشكل خاصّ على اتقان بيرون للشعر والنثر ولاسيّما من خلال قصائده، رحلة تشايلد هارولد والحكايات الشرقيّة، وملحمة "دون جوان" وسواها من الأعمال المعبّرة فضلاً عن يوميّاته ورسائله. وتتناول من منحى آخر هجائيّة بيرون واختباراته واستعمالاته لضروب الشعر، وما كان له من تأثير بارز على مسار الآداب الأوروبيّة والعالميّة كما ليس عند أحد سواه.
