{"product_id":"9781448212521","title":"Death and the Maidens: Fanny Wollstonecraft and the Shelley circle","description":"1816 was the fateful year when the Romantic poet Shelley and his lover Mary shared a hectic creative and sexual menage in Switzerland with Lord Byron. This intense period drew from the men some of the greatest poetry of the age; from Mary, it elicited the seminal figures of Frankenstein and his Creature. But for other women close to Shelley it was a time of tragedy. At the heart of the story are Fanny Wollstonecraft and Harriet Westbrook, women whose lives were literally overwhelmed by him – and who both committed suicide before the year was out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Not only a splendid work of feminist history, this is an important addition to late 18th- and early 19-century literary criticism.\" - \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140432609520,"sku":"9781448212521","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448212521_p0.jpg?v=1763829781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448212521","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
