Aw, man, I totally missed out reading 'Manfred' sober (and then trying to write a Serious Essay about it, which is just a lost cause). 'Frankenstein' was great. It was depressing 'cause the same person espousing Shelley's great gayness was also convinced he wrote 'Frankenstein', which... I hope not, but it's a good book (surprisingly). The mainstream idea is that apparently Percy just edited her to the point where he like, rewrote a bunch of passages himself, haha. I guess if my husband was Shelley, I wouldn't say no either. It's almost entirely focused on male friendship/antagonism with no believable m/f relationship (which is actually a point in the favor of Shelley having quite a hand in it).
Apparently, though, Shelley had a True Love from Oxford or some such (who got jealous and tried to steal his women, in true slash tradition). Anyway, the world would be cruel and unfair if the threesome never happened. I hope Byron also helped edit ('cause that's my idea of post-coital flirting, y'know).
I totally think Percy gags him. Percy is quite particular about things, and Byron talking always ruins a good buzz. Hahahah oh man, "liniment". *swoons* Percy is actually a slut in training. Well, John needs a lot of work, probably, but come to think of it, Percy's more likely to have some success than Byron, who would just be too obvious, somehow.
