Yiorgo Diatzikis Anne L. and S. Epes Robinson Honors Fellowship

Yiorgo Diatzikis studied Lord Byron and his role as a promoter of cultural exchange. To use one of Byron's own phrases, "being on the spot" allowed Yiorgo to gain a greater context of the influences that shaped Byron's literary production in Italy, which included some of his best works. Yiorgo travelled to Rome, Pisa, Ravenna, and Venice, all of which Byron lived for large periods of time, and, in Pisa, Yiorgo attended the 49th International Byron Conference.
