Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-14 00:00:00 Sonya Dancy I enjoyed reading about Mary Shelley, although half the time it felt more like Percy Shelley's biography. He was her husband and her life was definitely tied with his, but the author gives him too much space. She was also biased in his favor, even when he wasn't the best husband. It's not the best read, but if you're interested in the Shelley's, it's a good introduction, well researched and written.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-26 00:00:00 Guy Barlow "It is so delightful to love our fellow-creatures, and meet the honest affections as they break forth. Still, my good friend, I begin to think that I should not like to live continually in the country with people whose minds have such a narrow range." (p.15) "...I feel more than a mother's fondness and anxiety when I reflect on the dependent and oppressed state of her sex. I dread lest she should be forced to sacrifice her heart to her principles, or principles to her heart." (p.24) "Marguerite and the child often fell asleep, and when they were awake I might still reckon myself alone, as our train of thoughts had nothing in common." (p.86) Happiness is an 18th-century Scandinavian tour in June 2016. Thanks for hopping on!
