animal
Byron (Suvorin household pet)
Byron
also: Байрону, Байрон
A name in the Suvorin household's closing regards, grouped with Anna Ivanovna and Nastya; not previously attested in the corpus. Plausibly a household pet named after the poet, on the pattern of the household's other named animals (compare, the "New Times duck"), rather than a reference to Lord Byron himself -- rendered literally pending further research.
Reading notes
- To A. S. Suvorin, 5–6 October 1888. Moscow. §8 My regards to Anna Ivanovna, Nastya, and Byron
"Anna Ivanovna" and "Nastya" match the established convention for Suvorin's mother-in-law and daughter (see and its glossary). "Byron" is a new name in this circle, not previously attested in the corpus; plausibly a household pet, on the pattern of "Trezor" the dog and the "New Times duck" in's closing regards, rather than a reference to the poet Lord Byron -- rendered literally pending further research. A new entity was created for this figure after confirming no prior attestation exists in the corpus.
