![]() ![]() It has been pointed out to me that this naming convention is sexist as fuck, so I’ll be referring to our heroes as Mary and Percy. Trigger warning for a lot of death, infidelity, and rampant romanticism in art and life, with mixed results.Ī note: many biographers refer to “Mary and Shelley,” by which they mean Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley and Percy Shelley. Their romance was full of tragedy and drama and mayhem, but it also gave us two literary geniuses who assisted and inspired each other in their work. One of the messiest and most famous romances in literary history was between Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Back when I started the Real Life Romance column, I promised to bring you love stories that had an impact on history – but I never promised that those romances would be pretty. ![]()
