...Margins of Romanticism
For a variety of reasons, I ended up reading this overwrought but interesting essay. The eventd at the Villa Diodati in the ruoned summer of 1816 are a motherlode for the overwrought. Memories of Gothic, the film by Ken Russell ( an a master of taking the wrought and overing it) flood back, and I note that the actors who played Percy and Mary Shelley, Julian Sands and Natasha Richardson, died tragically young.
