Abstract :     Assist. Prof. Dr. Esin Ozansoy: Lord Byron is in Greece: His Influence on 19th Century Modern Greek Culture      This paper aims at presenting why Byron's poetry, although widely condemned on moral grounds, and frequently attacked by critics, was immensely popular in England and even more so abroad, especially in Greece. He noted in his Journal in 1822 that his sales were better in Germany, France, and America than at home. Much of his poetry and drama exerted great influence on Romanticism. His legacy of inspiration in European poetry, music, the novel, opera, and painting, has been immense.
