• THE STRANGE STORY OF THE WRITER AND POET NOIR REBEL
S 'cultural encounter in the living room of his father's Mary and sparks fatal. Only two years later was married. One of the most famous love affairs, most passionate and the most senseless of Romanticism. During their wanderings focus events that barely contains a lifetime of
ELIZABETH RASY Of all the problems that plague its incipient old age - a sullen wife, two daughters moody, physical problems and the money, the inaction and malignant tenacious of money - between all these detestable troubles that threaten his austere temperament of a philosopher as unscrupulous in the passions, his daughter Mary had no place to be negligible.
William Godwin was worried when the teenage girl had begun to show extraordinarily bold, imperious and too active mind. And, worse, with an invincible determination in everything he undertook. Godwin to the study of human nature, physiology social contradictions of the law had devoted all his talent. Even a marriage, what, precisely, with the child's mother Mary, a woman 's exception, thinker like him, as he believes that the conventions were going with a look of pitiless lens' magnification. But the mother, the 'other Mary Wollstonecraft, the famous author of "Vindication of the Rights of Women," died in childbirth thirteen years before, at the end of the tumultuous century, that the eighteenth century revolutions and the Enlightenment. He this' rebellious orphan did not know how to keep it at bay: this is why he sent away, far away from the stepmother who hated by petulant sister Jane daughter of the second Mrs. Goodwin and Fanny, the 'illegitimate by his first wife, melancholy and indolent. Far from even those poets, Coleridge, for example, who attended his house and the flared head. But when, after living away that would blunt the character, sixteen year old Mary returned to London, Godwin soon realized that her daughter was not changed, indeed. While the stubborn daughter was away, a young man barely twenty years old, an ardent admirer of "Survey on political justice ', the most important work of William Godwin, the disciple had said in a letter he had received permission to attend it. 'S first year, 1811, for he had written a pamphlet entitled "Necessity of 'atheism', the boy had been expelled from University College, Oxford. His father, Sir Timothy Shelley, was furious - not only hated the rest of the pamphlets, but also novels and poems that the first-born Percy Bysshe persisted in writing since she was ten years old. And the more he became furious when the son who followed the libertarian principles of Godwin and Tom Paine, after getting her pregnant, had married a sixteen year old Harriet Westbrook.
Two fathers in anguish, two rebellious children and stubborn: This is the premise of one of the most famous love affairs, most passionate and most senseless of European Romanticism. Because when, in 1814, Mary returned Percy met at home in the living room of his father broke a spark between the two fatal. The poet realized this immediately, as he wrote some time later a friend: "In June I was in London with Godwin ... There I met his daughter Mary. 'S originality and grace of the personality of Mary appeared on his own movements and tone of his voice. L 'irresistible impetuosity, and the sublimity of his feelings were manifested in his gestures and his looks. Com 'was persuasive and com' was his pathetic smile ... In a short time to devise a 'burning passion to have this priceless treasure. In my mind this feeling took a variety of forms, myself concealed the true nature of my condition. I celarla also tried to Mary, but without success. " What
Shelley, a man of great enthusiasm and completely free of hesitation, she tried to keep hidden his passion to the girl is rather doubtful, if before the end of that month of June, the two became lovers. Probably, however, both struggled to keep hidden so unseemly love of his wife and his large group of her family. But even here the 'failure was total. All responded. Godwin spoke with fiery words to his followers: "I never thought that you would sacrifice your personality and interest, the happiness of a worthy wife and innocent and spotless reputation of my young daughter to 'violent impulse of passion. "
Shelley said he understands, but which Mary Harriet, already the mother of a child and pregnant with her second child, she spoke directly with the despair of a betrayed woman, she was ready to give up. It was then that the poet understood that to realize their love did not stay that way: the escape.
was difficult to convince small Godwin, not yet seventeen, in a gesture so extreme? Maybe Mary reluctantly. But when Shelley came to her with a dose of laudanum and a gun declaring himself ready to commit suicide if she had not consented, he was quick enough in putting aside his hesitation, the 'filial love, reputation, moral scruples. It was fixed date, 28 in July, was found a partner, sister Jane. That same
July 28 the two lovers decided to keep a diary common. Shelley wrote the first page: "The night before this morning, since this was all decided, I have ordered a carriage to be ready for four. Vegliai until the 'light and the stars paled. Finally came the four ... I went, I saw her, she came to me ... Some preparations must be completed and she left me for a short period of time. I also find it appalling that time, there seemed to fiddle with their life and hope; few minutes passed and she was in my arms. We were saved, we were on the way to Dover. " The flight ended
Only two years later, December 30, 1816, when Mary and Shelley were married. During that time, spent in wandering madman between 'England and the Continent, focused events that a' whole life barely contain: Mary has two children in the first dies giving birth Harriett's son Percy, sister Jane becomes the 'lover of Byron, Mary wrote the book that will give everlasting fame,' Frankenstein 'Fanny,' s other sister committed suicide, shortly after Harriet committed suicide, Shelley pursued by debtors and by the fury of the father loses custody ignominiously the children of first marriage.
Only the philosopher Godwin does not seem to lose the phlegm of inveterate thinker. When he finally becomes Mrs. Mary Shelley, wrote to his brother: "I do not know if you remember the miscellaneità of my family, but at least you may recall that I only have my two children: a daughter by my first wife and a son from my wife today ... The news is that you should report that I accompanied the girl to 'altar some' time ago. Her husband is the eldest son of Sir Timothy Shelley of Field Park, County of Sussex, Baronet. Thus, according to the vulgar ideas of the world, married well and I have great hope that the young person is a good husband for her. You ask, I think, how a girl of limited means to do such a good marriage, but that's life. "
