Abstract

ABSTRACT The article contains a transcription of a new letter recently acquired by Keats-Shelley House, Rome. The letter, written partly by Mary Shelley and partly by her son, Percy Florence, is dated 11 February 1843 from Florence and addressed to Julian Robinson, Percy’s Cambridge friend. The Shelleys spent the winter of 1842–3 in Florence in the course of their second continental tour, recounted in Parts II and III of Mary Shelley’s Rambles in Germany and Italy, in 1840, 1842, and 1843 (1844). The letter complements the travelogue by offering a glimpse of their daily life abroad as members of the local foreign community. We thus learn of Percy’s regular but unenthusiastic attendance at the carnival balls and his lack of interest in female society, to his mother’s chagrin. Her portion of the letter further reveals her financial difficulties and strained relationship with Laura Galloni d’Istria, Mrs Mason’s daughter, with whom Mary Shelley had been reunited after twenty years. Both mother and son also comment on the much-opposed marriage to Henry Hunt of the daughter of Jane Hogg (formerly Jane Williams), Dina.
一封未出版的玛丽·雪莱的信
本文包含罗马济慈雪莱故居最近获得的一封新信件的抄写。这封信部分由玛丽·雪莱写,部分由她的儿子珀西·弗洛伦斯写,日期是1843年2月11日,从弗洛伦斯寄给珀西在剑桥的朋友朱利安·罗宾逊。雪莱一家在1840年、1842年和1843年(1844年)的第二次欧洲大陆旅行中,在佛罗伦萨度过了1842年至1843年的冬天。玛丽·雪莱的《漫游德国和意大利》的第二部分和第三部分讲述了这段经历。这封信通过提供他们作为当地外国社区成员在国外的日常生活的一瞥来补充游记。我们由此得知,珀西经常但不热情地参加狂欢节舞会,对女性社会缺乏兴趣,这让他的母亲感到懊恼。信中她的部分进一步揭示了她的经济困难以及与梅森夫人的女儿劳拉·加洛尼·德·伊斯特里亚的紧张关系,玛丽·雪莱与劳拉二十年后重逢。母亲和儿子还评论了简·霍格(原名简·威廉姆斯)的女儿蒂娜与亨利·亨特的强烈反对婚姻。
