Celebrating the Byron Bicentenary    Notoriously described by Lady Caroline Lamb, one of Lord Byron’s many lovers, as ‘mad, bad, and dangerous to know’, the poet’s life was one filled with scandal, adventure and extraordinary artistic production. The bicentenary of Byron’s death offers an opportune moment to reflect upon the cultural contributions of one of Harrow’s greatest Giants of Old. Widely considered the first ‘modern-day celebrity’, Byron’s life elicits the same unsettling mix of fascination and abhorrence today that it evoked in his contemporaries over 200 years ago. If his promiscuity prompted frivolous gossip, then rumours of incest were met with disgust, while the abuse that Byron suffered as a child is as horrifying as that which he is alleged to have perpetrated later in life. We might be tempted to think of Byron as little more than an eccentric anachronism when we hear of him taking his pet bear up to Trinity College, Cambridge, but his rage at Lord Elgin’s ‘plundering’ of the Parthenon Marbles disrupts this view of him and forces us to consider the extent to which Byron was, in fact, a man ahead of his time. Lord Byron was, and remains, nothing if not enigmatic. Yet, aside from his political passions, his plentiful transgressions, and his ostentatious proclivities, it is important to remember that Lord Byron was, perhaps above all, a poet capable of astounding feats of artistry. Reverence is rightly afforded to works such as ‘Childe Harold's Pilgrimage’, ‘Don Juan’, and ‘She Walks in Beauty’, and the impact of his work is impossible to quantify, although the famed literary critic Howard Mumford Jones possibly put it best when he argued that ‘there are greater poets than Byron, but there is none whose genius has been so immediately and so widely recognised by so many.’ As a School, we have used this bicentenary as an opportunity to celebrate and explore Byron’s life and writing in a multitude of ways. This year’s Lady Bourchier Reading Prize included extracts from a selection of Byron’s poetic work, as well as from novels that have presented us with some of literature’s best-known Byronic heroes: Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (Rochester), Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (Heathcliff), and Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield (Steerforth). Similarly, the Augustus Fleet Poetry Competition accepted entries that focused either on Byron’s life or which pastiched some of the formal elements – such as the Spenserian stanza or ottava rima – that Byron used in much of his own writing. This week has seen boys from ten different societies give talks on Byron’s life over the course of three days, with a focus ranging from his involvement in the Greek War of Independence to the relationship between Byron’s poetry and the music of Berlioz. The week will culminate tomorrow, 19 April, exactly 200 years on from Lord Byron’s death, with a talk in Speech Room from former House Master of The Park and a Byron expert Peter Hunter.
