Young Romantics by Daisy Hay
The Shelleys, Byron and Other Tangled Lives
A lively narrative of the tangled circle around early-19th-century Romantic poets—most notably Percy and Mary Shelley, Lord Byron and their companions—that traces how youthful idealism, political radicalism, sexual liberty and fierce artistic rivalry produced both brilliant work and devastating personal consequences; drawing on letters and diaries, the book reconstructs their friendships, scandals, travels (especially to Italy) and the ways private lives shaped public reputations and literary legacies.
