Disbound. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 26 pages. In 1816, Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and her stepsister Claire Clairmont embarked on a memorable trip to the Chamounix Valley. This journey is significant because it occurred while Mary was working on her famous novel, Frankenstein. The protagonist of the novel, Victor Frankenstein, also goes on a hiking expedition in the Mount Blanc massif, with references made to the Mer de Glace glacier in the valley. Shelley wrote a detailed letter about the trip to Thomas Love Peacock, which later became part of A History of a Six Weeks' Tour. It is essential to note that this article differs from Shelley's letter to Peacock. Interestingly, Lord Byron and his physician, Dr. John Polidori, were also in the Geneva area during the same period, making it a hub for the Romantic Movement. This trip and the literary connections associated with it make it a significant event in literary history. This is an article from The Edinburgh Annual Register.
