About this product

Product Information

1816 was the fateful year when the quintessential Romantic poets Byron and Shelley shared a hectic creative and sexual household in Switzerland. It spawned some of the greatest poetry in the English language, and Frankenstein too, but it also led directly to the tragic suicide of two young women and destroyed the life of at least two others. The misery of the women and children who loved or came close to Shelley is largely unacknowledged because he is remembered himself as a martyr to art who died an early death. His fantasies of utopian communities of free love - as so often - may have been fun for the men but destroyed the women involved. In 1816 he ran away from his first wife, Harriet, to live with Mary Imlay-Wollstonecraft and her half-sister. But he also abandoned the third tragic half-sister Fanny, neglected in every previous book about the Wollstonecraft-Godwin-Shelley-Byron circle and brought to life again for the first time here. Fanny is the most heartbreaking and ignored victim in English literature. Janet Todd finally gives her some recompense.
