The Byron Society was founded in Britain in 1876, at the instigation
of King George I of Greece, to “preserve the memory of the cause
for which he lived and died in the hearts of his countrymen”. After
many successes, it ceased activities at the outbreak of war in 1939
The present organization was formed in 1971 to revive this work. It
is an international organization, with National Committees in most
European countries, United States, Canada, the Middle and Far
East. The Byron Journal, a scholarly publication, is issued annually
on January 22
