Diodati, 1816
By Robert Gordon
1963
Byron and Shelley and Mary and Claire,
Braced by the grandeur and quick Alpine air,
Clustered themselves in a Genevese site,
Telling of spirits and ghosts in the night,
Byron was piqued by the whispering gloom;
Shelly had visions and ran from the room;
Claire became pregnant (her passion, his wine);
And Mary, bright Mary, begot Frankenstein.
Newly added to the Georgian Fiction links:
Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The Vampyre by John Polidori
My new obsession for books online is Google Books, where you can create your own eLibrary. Depending on individual agreements with Google, some books are readable online, or available to download, and some results instead provide links to purchase particular works.
