In Defence of Harriet Shelley

Publisher Description

Twain's essay is actually a long review of a biography of Shelley by Edward Dowden: Life of Shelley, a book that is extremely dismissive of Harriet Shelley, Percy Shelley's first wife - the one he left pregnant and with a child at home so that he could run away to Europe with Mary. The book also provides some interesting information about Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's background.
