Sinopsis

Mark Twain pulls no punches while exposing the real Percy Shelley in this scathing condemnation of Edward Dowdens Life of Shelley. Even though, as Twain writes, Shelleys life has the one indelible blot upon it, but is otherwise worshipfully noble and beautiful, Twain shows how Shelleys extra-marital conduct might easily be seen to have been the cause of his wife Harriets suicide.
