An Eighteenth-Century Tale: A Fragment

Mary Shelley

First published 1976
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story


First published in the 1976 collection, based on a manuscript

"It was written before 1824: not only does the holograph MS share the same Abinger notebook with the story of Valerius (?1819); ... In both [Recollections of Italy] and this fragment, the author assumes an ironic preference for England over Italy." --Charles E. Robinson, 1976 collection "Notes", XXIV, p. 398 (viewed at Amazon)
