The publication of Volumes III and IV of Shelley and His Circle
under the editorial auspices of Kenneth Neill Cameron makes
available a further portion of the Shelley manuscript materials in
the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library. These two volumes continue in the
format and style of Volumes I and II, which received the critical
acclaim of, among others, John Ciardi, who lauded Cameron and his
contributing editors for rescuing "the material from felonious
footnotery primarily by enclosing it in a continuous narrative that
contains detailed introductions to each of the characters of the
circle, and a general background of their relationships and of the
times." Volumes III and IV progress chronologically through
Shelley's life, beginning with the early years of Shelley's
marriage to Harriet Westbrook, where Volume II ended, and
concluding with her suicide. Among the manuscripts are twelve
letters and literary pieces by Byron including the first of his
"separation" poem "Fare Thee Well," the expanded 1814 journal of
Claire Clairmont, the curious triangular correspondence of Shelley,
Mary Godwin, and Thomas Jefferson Hogg, Shelley's annotated copy of
Queen Mab, and the suicide letter Harriet Shelley wrote a few hours
before she drowned in the Serpentine. A number of maps especially
prepared for this edition and other supplementary illustrations
enhance the impeccable scholarship of these volumes which, with the
projected publication of the remaining materials, will present a
half century of interconnected biographies and will suggest the
literary and intellectual tenor of the Romantic era. The
Pforzheimer collection, exceeded only by that at the Bodleian in
the number of Shelley and Shelleyana manuscripts, reflects the
personal interests of Carl H. Pforzheimer, who put together one of
the notable private libraries of modern times. Before his death in
1957, he planned the form of publication for his collection,
designing it not only for the academic use of scholars but also as
a stimulating and readable set for the enthusiastic layman.
