Discover the world of 19th Century Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary, creator of Frankenstein. Following the turbulent years of the Napoleonic Wars, the newlyweds sought refuge in the picturesque town of Marlow to nurture their family, creativity, and souls.
Our speaker is Heather Adams, a local popular historian. She is currently curating an exhibition about Literary Marlow for Marlow Museum starting at the end of July and hosts a literary walk around Marlow. Heather previously gave us a talk on ‘Emma, Lady Hamilton’ in October 2022 which was very well received.
