These themes include the night, the supernatural, and the complex allure of Spain and its guitars, celebrated by Byron in Childe Harold. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website. Website Twitter Facebook\n
