what are your book recommendations for people who want to get into/know more about the shelleys, byron, and overall the villa diodati peers? thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu

I have links to Romantic resources and my favorite Diodati-specific book recs here and here. And as always, reading their work/letters/diaries/essays are great too as they all wrote some of their most famous stuff during that time (Childe Harold III, Prisoner of Chillon, Darkness, The Dream, Manfred, August Darvell/The Vampyre, Mont Blanc, Hymn to Intellectual Beauty, Mutability, History of a Six Weeks Tour, Frankenstein... need I say more?). Thanks for the ask!!

2000 Románticos es una aventura que comparte el espíritu literario más puro y excitante: la forja de nuevos talentos a partir de los más jóvenes.

He expresado en más de una ocasión mi punto de vistasobre el rol del lector juvenil, que juega un papel clave dentro de mi visión del futuro…

Because we’re in SW hell, have some vaguely SW inspired designs on Diodati and Vaiya.  (Dati has a junk ship full of weird junk he collects, Vaiya slings crooked deals and stows away on his ship to escape the consequences)

Mary Shelley’s Journal Entry from July 27th, 1816: she, Percy, and Claire return to Byron’s villa and to their child and nanny after visiting Mont Blanc.

“Saturday, July 27. — It is a most beautiful day, without a cloud. We set off at 12. The day is hot, yet there is a fine breeze. We pass by the Great Waterfall, which presents an aspect of singular beauty. The wind carries it away from the rock, and on towards the north, and the fine spray into which it is entirely dissolved passes before the mountain like a mist.

The other cascade has very little water, and is consequently not so beautiful as before. The evening of the day is calm and beautiful. Evening is the only time I enjoy travelling. The horses went fast, and the plain opened before us. We saw Jura and the Lake like old friends. I longed to see my pretty babe. At 9, after much inquiring and stupidity, we find the road, and alight at Diodati. We converse with Lord Byron till 12, and then go down to Chapuis, kiss our babe, and go to bed.”
