bizaaaaaaaaarre.

historical real person slash: byron/shelley. plus twisted threesome with mary shelley (percy shelley's wife, that is). author of frankenstein, which seems quite full of sublimated homoerotic impulses, as pointed out the cool lesbian novelist teacher. there's all this male/male stuff and then she sticks a woman in between...

i'll be very lucky if i escape writing this.

well, tell me this: will anyone read it?

Me! Me! Oh I would so read it.

And whatshisname, Byron's physician who wrote that Lord Ruthven book when Mary Shelley wrote Frandkenstein... I think there was something going on with him, too.

you aren't more pretentious than ME, surely.

however. know nothing about byron's physician. research is clearly in order before i write. not to mention an essay and homework.

hmph.

His name was, like, John Polidori I think. Six years since I knew this stuff, so it could well be that I pulled it all out of my ass and you can ignore it.
