You’ll be able to catch Corin Throsby, as well as @Andrew_Stauffer and Fiona Stafford (whose new books are both reviewed here) this week at The Byron Festival!

[The TLS @TheTLS]

'Many aspects of Byron’s life speak to twenty-first-century concerns: his sexuality was ambiguous, he was disabled ... he was sexually abused as a boy ... he had disordered eating and he was truly international in his outlook.

When Westminster Abbey declined to accept the magnificent statue of Byron, created after his death by the Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen, Trinity gave it a home in the  Wren Library, where the poet still stands — an impressive presence for students, scholars and visitors.

Couldn't be more excited to attend this💫
