Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The article analyses Byron's singular adaptation of the inherent play of Venetian history in his first historical drama about the unsuccessful coup d'etat of doge Faliero. It discusses the processes of subversion and carnevalization of history per se and its dramatization.
