ABOUT THE BOOK

L'Intervista impossibile a Lord Byron was conceived in the spirit of a well-known radio program that aired on RAI's second network in the 1970s. In each episode a prominent intellectual interviews a great figure from the past. The interview with Lord Byron mixes real statements with plausible ones, and on account of his personality it brings out numerous aspects of his poetics and some relevant facts of his life, as well as the extraordinary modernity of some of his views. Six other essays are offered alongside the interview.
