Byrona je k raziskovanju albanskih tem in motivov spodbudil obisk Albanije leta 1809, saj so albanske pokrajine, folklora in ljudje nanj naredili močan vtis. Ob tem ni vplival le na številne albanske avtorje in avtorice, ampak se je navdih, ki ga je črpal iz albanskega okolja, dodobra vsadil tudi v njegovo lastno poezijo. Članek s kvalitativno in primerjalno literarno metodo obravnava albanske teme v nekaterih znamenitih Byronovih delih, kot so Romanje grofiča Harolda, Nevesta iz Abidosa, Giaour, Obleganje Korinta, Lara, Parizina in Don Juan. Analiza razkriva, da Byron v svojih pesmih slavi očarljivo naravo Albanije, albanski značaj, vrline albanskih žensk, narodne noše, folkloro in zgodovinske osebnosti, kot so Skenderbeg, Ali Paša in drugi. Poleg tega članek pokaže, da so bila patriotska čustva in junaštvo v Byronovih verzih dragocen navdih za marsikaterega domoljubnega pesnika v času albanskega narodnega preporoda. Byronova potovanja po albanskih deželah ter njegovo zanimanje in pisanje o Albaniji in Albancih so pomembno okrepili in utrdili albansko-angleške literarne vezi in kulturne odnose. Zaradi odkritega občudovanja Albanije si je Byron kot njen prijatelj, zaveznik in podpornik pridobil neizmerno naklonjenost albanskega ljudstva ter postal najbolj priljubljen pesnik med Albanci.
