The Japanese Byron Society held its 19th annual meeting at the International House of Japan in Tokyo on 20 July 2013. Twenty people gathered and enjoyed three stimulating [End Page 220] talks by our young members. The speakers and their titles are as follows: Yuuki Kikuchi, ‘Revival of Byronmania through Marxism in Japan: Focusing on the Centennial of Byron’s Death in 1924’; Keiko Ikeda, ‘A Mirror and the Hieroglyphic in P. B. Shelley’s A Defence of Poetry’; and Campbell Kumiko, ‘Byron and Sakutaro: Highlighting Parallels with the Apollonian and Dionysian Narrative’. Next year’s meeting will be held in Nara.
Newsletter No. 16 was published in November 2012, under the editorship of Professor Mamoru Kadota, which includes summaries of oral presentations in the annual meeting 2012, essays, book reviews, membership list, etc.
