About the book

The Last Days of Shelley & Byron explores the final period in the lives of two of the most celebrated figures of the Romantic movement, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. Set largely against the backdrop of Italy, the book follows their literary friendships, personal relationships and restless lives abroad during a period of intense creativity and political upheaval. The account offers a vivid portrait of the Romantic circle in exile, including the personalities, rivalries and ideals that surrounded Shelley and Byron. It also examines the circumstances leading to Shelley's death by drowning in 1822 and Byron's death in Greece two years later, giving the reader a fascinating insight into the dramatic endings of two extraordinary literary lives.
