Dr Jennifer Wallace speaks about Byron and Greece alongside Professors Roderick Beaton, David Ricks and Ioannes Chountis de Fabbri at a special event in London to commemorate the bicentenary of the poet’s death at Missolonghi. Two hundred years on from his death in Greece on 19 April 1824, Byron remains one of the most important figures in the history of modern British-Greek relations.  The individual papers and expert discussion will consider Byron’s final, fateful activities in Greece, and take a glance at his legacy in Greece today.
