Please remember that Contessa Guiccioli, Byron's lover while he was in Ravenna, wrote her Recollections of Lord Byron after he died and these are some of the chapters:

TAG YOURSELF AS A MEMBER OF THE GENEVA SQUAD!

Parts of it are very cringe but parts of it - well, still cringe, but worth sharing I think

One stormy night on Lake Leman, Lord Byron proposed a little ghastly writing contest...

i wish we made writers celebrities like we used to. you mean to tell me people got to hear all of the geneva trip drama and rumors? you mean to tell me people knew what was going on with hemingway and fitzgerald? unfair.

do you like Mary Shelley? come meet others who do too!! (14+)

Welcome to the first and official Mary Shelley discord server that focuses mainly on the last man! This server functions as a book club, with 2 days set to finish each chapter. Currently, we are reading The Last Man, Mary Shelley's second best work. We are currently reading Chapter 3, and will start Chapter 4 by 2 days in the CET timezone. It is possible that after we finish this novel, we may start/reread other Shelley Novels such as the well-known and beloved Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, or lesser known works such as Mathilda! If you do not wish to participate with reading a specific book in the future, you can simply unclaim the chapter ping role used to anounce when a new chapter is starting, and reclaim when you decide you'd like to join again for a different book.

Join whenever you'd like, and I hope you enjoy your stay :)

server is still currently under development but nonetheless ready for interaction, however some changes might be made. anyone that is 14 or above is welcome.

when everyone made rude comments about byron’s weight gain in italy, and then there’s shelley who said byron had “changed into the liveliest, & happiest looking man I ever met”

For the last time: Mary Shelley and Lord Byron were friends. She didn't hate him. His death was a very painful loss to her. She didn't write Frankenstein because she was stuck in a house with him and he was an unbearable person. For God's sake, just read her journals and letters.

my buddy percy pacing: dr. john polidori is plotting against us and my wifes nipples have been replaced by eyeballs

Throwback to the middle of lock-down where I spent nearly a month on making a presentation about the Geneva Squad for my poor, unsuspecting friends

pretty iconic that on one stormy night a bunch of dark academia gays gave the world not just frankenstein but also the broody vampire as we know it

there’s ghosts and romantic poets and the architectural uncanny and frankenstein. percy shelley is having a mental breakdown on his own somewhere. byron’s full of himself and flirting with everybody. polidori’s afflictions suspiciously resemble those of a “vampyre”. the companions are in period-appropriate costumes for once. thasmin subtext in yaz’s conversation with claire clairmont is akin to that clara/maisie chat scene from mummy on the orient express. gothic horror atmosphere to the gods, slightly unsettling mary notyetshelley, the doctor going directly against her own rules within 5 minutes of establishing them, what more do you need ?

anyone else think frequently about the time percy bysshe shelley (mary shelley's husband) was probably tripping on laudanum and just picked up a random woman's baby and asked her if her baby ' would tell them of pre-existence ' then after said mother was like ???? he's a baby he can't talk implied that the baby was pretending and ' cannot have forgotten entirely the use of speech in so short a time ', or is that like just a me thing
