An essential collection of writings penned by the most celebrated figures of the Romantic era, presented in an authoritative two-volume set.Volumes XI and XII complete the Shelley and His Circle collection, shedding light on Shelley’s unfulfilled literary and personal aspirations in the months prior to his drowning. Comprising nearly 200 manuscripts from 1821 to 1822, the set includes new translations of Italian correspondence and fresh transcriptions of published material, including Shelley’s “Triumph of Life,” a series of short poems in Italian by Lord Byron, and a fragment of Byron’s drama Heaven and Earth.The manuscripts, essays, and letters in these volumes chronicle how Byron’s connection to Countess Teresa Guiccioli’s politically imperiled family dictated his movements in Italy—ultimately leading to his reunion with Shelley and the formation of the short-lived Pisan Circle. Selections of Leigh Hunt’s correspondence are presented in full for the first time, as are previously unpublished letters of Edward John Trelawny, along with his eyewitness account of the cremation of Shelley’s remains. The reproduction of a proof copy of the Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, complete with Mary Shelley’s handwritten corrections, further enriches these closing volumes.Annotated manuscripts from the period immediately after Shelley’s death offer a record of the anxieties and dashed hopes of his survivors amid the search for the lost poet and his close friend Edward E. Williams, who drowned alongside him. The collection closes with an unpublished letter by the widowed Mary Shelley, as she prepared for her reluctant return to England.

An essential collection of writings penned by the most celebrated figures of the Romantic era, presented in an authoritative two-volume set.Volumes IX and X of Shelley and His Circle offer insights into both Shelley’s youth and his later Italian exile, painting an especially vivid picture of the political and personal crises that dominated his life in the critical year of 1820.Volume IX features a retrospective on the young Shelley, bringing together his unpublished early letters from 1809–1810, a memorandum book that he kept at Eton, a libelous verse-letter about his parents, and other works predating his Italian exile. This backward glance also includes the only known exchange between Mary Wollstonecraft and Catharine Macaulay, William Godwin’s first letter to Malthus, and a partial draft of Mary Shelley’s Proserpine, complete with edits made by her husband.Volume X chronicles Shelley’s Italian residence from July through December 1820. In this period of political unrest, the letters of Leigh Hunt, the Shelleys, Lord Byron, and Countess Teresa Guiccioli reflect preoccupation with Queen Caroline’s “trial” for adultery in Britain and with brewing revolutions in Italy. Other highlights include the press copy of Byron’s verse drama Marino Faliero, a young British officer’s reminiscences of Shelley in 1814, and the young architect Henry Reveley’s testimony about the Circle. Together, the materials illuminate the Circle’s impassioned engagement with the political discourse of the times.
