Valperga
Valperga | Mary Shelley
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
Originally published in 1823, Valperga is probably Mary Shelleys most neglected novel. Set in 14th-century Italy, it represents a merging of historical romance and the literature of sentiment. Incorporating intriguing feminist elements, this absorbing novel shows Shelley as a complex and intellectually astute thinker.

What a lovely day of #bookmail! Thank you so much @erzascarletbookgasm for passing on the Mary Shelley books 🙏🏽 The bio by Seymour is a chunkster & looks amazing! Sorry for the terrible pic; it was overcast earlier & I couldn't get decent light but the Shelley novels are Valperga & Lodore. Jessie, you are so kind to add this lovely book from my TBR & that gorgeous pen 😍 Thank you for that and for the lovely message in the card, friend. ❤️❤️
