ISBN10: 0718305493, ISBN13: 9780718305499, [publisher: William Kimber & Co. Limited, London, first edition, 1985] Hardcover First Edition Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 226 pp, 16 pp of ills. From the blurb -"Intelligent with no claim to intellect, attractive without being beautiful and with no obvious talents save a gift for home-making and for singing to the guitar, Jane Williams seems at first glance an unlikely candidate to inspire some of Shelley's last and tenderest lyrics. Yet she captured the lifelong devotion of two unusual men with whom she lived after her short disastrous first marriage, and became the last love in Shelley's life. Joan Rees paints a sympathetic portrait of the poet and describes how he came to meet Jane and the man whose name she took, Ned Williams. She recreates the whole circle of people surrounding the Shelleys and tells of what happened to them all after the early deaths of both Shelley and Williams by drowning. She traces how the relationship between Mary Shelley and Jane Williams developed over the years, and of how Jane came to live with another of the Shelley circle, as his wife." Very Good in slightly used dustwrapper.
