Abstract
SHELLEY had, at the time of his second trip to Switzerland in the summer of 1816, contemplated a long sojourn in Italy, the art and literature of which he admired and the climate of which had been recommended to him for his health. His resolve to live abroad was strengthened, first, by the necessity of putting Claire’s daughter Allegra under the care of the child’s father, Byron; by the fear that, with the negative results of the Chancery case as a precedent, he and Mary were in some danger of losing custody of their children William and Clara; and, finally, by the debilitating financial negotiations arising from Godwin’s importunities. On February 7, 1818, Shelley left Marlow for good.
