ATTENTION ALL BYRONISTS! in honor of this being the 200th year of byron's death, newstead abbey (byron's historically preserved estate) released videos showing off some of their artefacts earlier this year! they can be seen on the nottingham museums youtube channel here

they recently released a video about some of the clothing byron purchased in albania and wore in his most famous portrait!

i also found this amazing project where a student recreated some of byron's clothing to great effect. the clothes are (or were recently) at newstead abbey and available to be tried on by guests. this might be of interest to you who are into historical costuming recreation.

Actual mood. Spend my holiday in Cornwall. Foggy whenever we left the house and it cleared right as we went home (:

I think that was a church on this pic

Let's return to Pendle we said. Let's go revisit its infamous hill we said....

Holiday in England, see the sights... Possibly, maybe. Honestly it's 80/20. 😆

Laying in bed waiting for the fanfiction in my head to write itself

i don't actually believe that shelley and byron were directly romantically or sexually involved but i do believe byron and thomas moore definitely had something seriously going on considering everything... yet no one ever talks about this in academia or byron studies, though they talk about all the other relationships in his life, and to me this should actually be obvious.... byron considered moore to be his best friend at one point - which yeah he was inconstant but he always writes of moore with way more respect than practically anyone else - compare the way he wrotes of moore in his letters/diaries/poems to how he writes of shelley! - byron also wrote some of his best poems for moore (many of them romantic in nature, including so we'll go no more a roving, which is extremely romantic, listen to leonard cohen's and richard dyer's song versions!) - entrusted him with his work as critic and editor, saw him as a poetic equal, & although moore actively censored a lot of the queer themes in byron's works to protect his reputation it was while simultaneously spending his life lovingly preserving it + publishing a multi-volume biography of him which to this day is the best source about his life, all to make up for the burning of byron's memoirs which moore was THE ONLY ONE who fiercely tried to prevent the destruction of...... and the fact that most of their letters to each other are straight up mysteriously missing except mainly what moore quotes in his published collections, which are of course edited, though he still tried to leave in as much lewd stuff as he possibly could knowing that's what byron would have wanted.... any way!
