It’s just over 10 years since we lost Peter Cochran. “Ever a provoker of original thought".

@cannotbegrouped Peter’s son-in-law has been re-editing one of his best loved books Byron & Bob. To be published as ebook & affordable paperback later this year

@D_Profundis @CoherentCrap He is (and always will be). One of those rare literary scholars who are both sympathetic to their subject and too wise to be duped by that.

[MadBadDangerous @madbaddangerous]

EXCELLENT thread on Don Juan! The text in the over-scribbled MS is from (now) Canto I.149 - Julia’s indignant denial of her affair (with Juan who all the while lies hidden in her bed). To disentangle B.’s scribbles see @coherentcrap’s invaluable edition::https://t.co/AT9I6Tvm6F

Honoured to get a tour of the #JohnMurrayArchive @nlsarchives We added to their @CoherentCrap papers collection with a decades worth of letters to Michael Rees (aka Brother Teilo) regarding their #TeresaGuiccioli book. Thanks to Kirsty McHugh & Beverly for the time & hospitality!

[MadBadDangerous @madbaddangerous]

@byron_society @Wordsworthians @mary_db10 A shameful, selfish act: faithless (to Byron) and tragic for history. I don’t doubt the conspirators knew that. @CoherentCrap had it right: Hobhouse feared the Memoirs wd blight his politica rise (& rise); Murray feared they might harm his investments in B’s literary legacy.

. . ."It is constructed like a film script in short sections that turn rapidly from one character to another, interspersed with dialogue & quotations from the correspondence of the actors involved in or responsible for the fate of this literary vandalism." #ShobhanaBhattacharji

#TheByronJournal Review by #ShobhanaBhattacharji of THE BURNING OF BYRON’S MEMOIRS: ESSAYS &
PAPERS. By Peter Cochran. @CamScholars
"The combination of his determinedly anti-Byron tone & his undoubted
love for Byron form an organisational motif of the book"https://t.co/n1u5hoEwqc

[Peter.S.Cochran @CoherentCrap]

@CamScholars (The essay)" 'The Burning of Byron’s Memoirs’ is a good reason for buying this book. Until someone produces the original memoirs, there is little new that can be said about them. And yet Peter’s account of their destruction is riveting". . . #ShobhanaBhattacharji

"Cochran left over 20 full-length monographs on Byron, countless articles and online study aids...this volume... provides a taste of the staggering breadth of Cochran’s knowledge. The glee that Cochran takes in stirring up his readers... mirrors similar traits in Byron himself." https://t.co/bcaSASblTI

From @TheTLS - the story of the greatest crime in literary history: https://t.co/M6emLO6Wm6 #Byron

[The Byron Society of America @ByronSociety]

The “greatest crime in literary history,” indeed . . . so we should all read @CoherentCrap and Julia Markus’s books to make up for what we can . . . https://t.co/3TJGGNsvwp
