description: Webster-Garrett (English, Radford U.) explores Shelley's (1797-1851) writing after she buried her husband and returned home to find her first novel being lampooned on London stages. She places her later career within the context of two trends in Romanticism. The first is the rise of discourses of influence to describe sociopolitical, cultural, spiritual, and sexual relationships. The second is the rise of Romantic cultural anxieties regarding the ascendance of the popular novel, especially the romance, to a position of cultural influence.
