Harriet Shelley's Letters To Catherine Nugent (1889) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163881743)

Harriet Shelley�������s Letters To Catherine Nugent (1889) is a collection of letters written by Harriet Westbrook Shelley to her friend Catherine Nugent. Harriet was the first wife of the famous poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and her letters provide a fascinating insight into her life and relationship with Percy. The letters cover a period of several years, from the time of Harriet�������s marriage to Percy in 1811, to her tragic death in 1816. In her letters, Harriet writes about her feelings towards Percy, her struggles with depression and loneliness, and her attempts to make a life for herself in a male-dominated society. She also writes about her growing interest in politics and social reform, and her involvement in various causes. The letters are a valuable historical document, shedding light on the life of a woman who has often been overshadowed by her more famous husband. They are also a moving testament to the strength and resilience of a woman who faced many challenges in her short life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
