Byron, Shelley and how the Georgian proto-jet set turned Grand Tours into lives abroad

July 3, 2021 For some, The Grand Tour of the 18th and 19th centuries was a one-off trip. For others it became a lifestyle. Carla Passino takes a look at some of the most famous Britons to split their lives between the UK and the Continent. When Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel, embarked on his first trip to Padua, Italy, in 1612, he couldn’t have imagined he’d start a trend that would grip British Society. His experiences in Italy sparked a wave of interest in European travel, which, over time, evolved into the Grand Tour. Most British gentlemen (and the odd lady) spent three years abroad to polish their knowledge of art, architecture and the classics, but some made a different choice, settling overseas for longer. Several of these early ‘expats’ had little alternative, perhaps due to scandal or because they were in the service of the kingdom.

Cheque found in archives reflects Byron s generosity and his influence in the Greek cause

19 April 2021 5:04pm When Lord Byron died in Missolonghi 197 years ago today (19 April, 1824), he was the poet superstar of European letters. His celebrity not only drew world attention to the Greek cause against their Ottoman overlords, but his personal contribution to that cause at the ultimate cost of his life was also huge. The British newspaper the Observer recently unearthed a bank note of exchange/cheque in the Greek state archives which reflects on the poet’s commitment to the Greek cause and the generosity for which he was famous. In the note of exchange drawn in Kefalonia (one of the Ionian Islands under British rule) on 12 November, 1823, Lord Byron instructs that £4,000 be paid to the representative of the Greek provisional government, Giovanni Orlando. The amount which is the equivalent of £332,000 ($594,000 Australian) today was to finance the emergency needs of the Greeks.

Revealed: Lord Byron s £4,000 cheque that helped create modern Greece

Revealed: Lord Byron’s £4,000 cheque that helped create modern Greece Helena Smith in Athens © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Glyn Genin/Alamy Racked by fever, prone to fits of delirium, consumed by his last great passion – the liberation of Greece – Lord Byron lay on his sickbed. It was 18 April 1824. The great Romantic poet would be dead the next day. “I have given her [Greece] my time, my means, my health,” he is recorded as saying in a moment of lucidity. “And now I give her my life! What could I do more?” Byron’s death in Missolonghi, the malaria-ridden town where he had spearheaded the Greeks’ revolt against Ottoman rule, induced instant shock, convulsing the English-speaking world.
