Albie the mad Albanian: The cross-cultural influence between Byron and Albania【翻译】

DEDICATION
This work is dedicated to my husband, Edward Owen, and our daughter, Grace
Hyssen Owen, for their unfailing good humor in the face of scholarly adversity,
and for kicking me off the computer so they could play computer games and
check hockey scores, and I could procrastinate in peace.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank my advisor, Laura George, for her invaluable help with
this topic, and for being so nice while I went on and on about how much
trouble I was having. I would also like to thank Elisabeth Daümer for acting as
second reader. Finally, the deepest gratitude to the many people who went out
of their way to get me information when I asked.

ABSTRACT
The subject of Byron and Albania has been historically neglected but
merits study for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the importance
Byron himself gave to Albania. While Western Byron scholars have tended
either to omit discussion of Albania or to conflate Albania with Greece in
Byron’s writing, a reading of “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” and its notes will
demonstrate the centrality of Albania to the formation of the Byronic persona.
In addition, this thesis draws on Albanian scholarship on Byron, furthering
international work on this crucial aspect of Byron’s career.
