Young Romantics: The Shelleys, Byron and Other Tangled Lives (64 page)
| 15 | Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and his Circle, The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations. Uncatalogued MS, filed in Claire Clairmont to Lady Mountcashell, 24/09/1822. For ease of reading, I have not transcribed Claire’s deletions and rewritings. These occur frequently in a manuscript which was evidently an early draft of a projected longer work. |

| 17 | Quoted in William St Clair, Trelawny: The Incurable Romancer, p.197. St Clair notes that not only did Trelawny misquote Shelley (following Mary Shelley’s transcription), but that he also considered rewriting his friend’s poetry so that it better described their relationship, and read as follows: ‘These are two friends in life devided/ Death has united, so let their memory be/ Now that they have glided under their grave/ Let not their bones be parted/ For their two hearts in life were single hearted’. ‘I doubt’, St Clair writes, ‘if many people would find this an improvement on Shelley’s verse even if the sentiment accords better with the facts’ (p.230). |
A comprehensive bibliography of biographical and critical studies of the writers discussed in this book would fill a book of its own, and indeed does so every year, in the shape of the annual
Keats-Shelley Journal Bibliography
, published by the Keats-Shelley Association of America. The aims of the bibliography provided here are more modest. It provides full details of primary and secondary material cited in the Notes, as well as details of a small number of additional works which have informed my thinking significantly. It also encompasses a highly selective list of works by individual members of the Shelley/Hunt circle. Here, I have focused on authoritative editions, works written in the period covered by this book, or on works which are directly related to that period.
