In Defense of Harriet Shelley

In Defense of Harriet Shelley, written by Mark Twain in 1909, critiques Edward Dowden's biography of Percy Shelley. Twain argues that Shelley's extramarital affairs contributed to the tragic suicide of his first wife, Harriet. The work is notable for its candid examination of Shelley's character, challenging the romanticized view of the poet and highlighting the consequences of his actions on those around him.
