“In the autumn of 1820 Medwin accepted Shelley's invitation to join him in Italy and spent many contented hours reading, writing, and conversing with Shelley and Lord Byron. After the deaths of Shelley and Williams in July 1822 and of Byron two years later, these conversations, which Medwin had recorded in his journal, became the basis for the highly popular but controversial Conversations of Lord Byron.” (ODNB).
