Shelley Manor - A Brief History
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) did not just write literature, but was a prime source of inspiration for many famous poets that followed in his footsteps. Whilst venerated in the United States of America, Italy and Japan, he is scarcely remembered today other than by his association with his wife Mary Shelley (1797-1851). Mary edited and promoted the works of her husband, whilst also being a novelist, short story writer, biographer and travel writer, she is best known for her Gothic novel ‘Frankenstein’.
