Pforzheimer Collection and Shelley and his Circle
The Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle is one of the world’s leading
repositories for the study of British Romanticism. Comprising over 20,000 items, the
collection is conceptually centered on the life and works of the poet Percy Bysshe
Shelley and his friends, relatives, and contemporaries. Formerly a part of the much larger
and now dispersed Pforzheimer Library, the Pforzheimer Collection came to The New
York Public Library in 1986.
Many of the manuscripts listed in this guide have been included in Shelley and his Circle,
1773-1822, a multi-volume publication that presents selected manuscripts from the
Pforzheimer Collection. Shelley and his Circle provides extensive descriptions of the
manuscripts, along with commentary, textual analysis, and some facsimile reproductions.
Some items in this guide not yet published in Shelley and his Circle may be included in
future volumes of that publication.
Holdings and provenance
This guide lists and describes the manuscript materials held by the Pforzheimer
Collection that were created by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, including original
holographs, amanuensis work in her hand, and her transcripts of work by others. These
items have been acquired throughout the history of the Collection, and are kept at the
New York Public Library.
The first Mary Shelley manuscripts added to the Collection were included in the
establishing purchases in 1920 at the sale of the library of H. Buxton Forman, the Shelley
bibliographer. Regular acquisitions over the next four decades, mostly through auction,
led to an accumulation of over 300 items in Mary Shelley’s hand by the time of Carl H.
Pforzheimer’s death in 1957.
In the following years, under the auspices of the Pforzheimer Library, the Collection
acquired over fifty more Mary Shelley manuscripts, including a number of letters to
Byron's last mistress, Countess Guiccioli, and Mary Shelley's annotated proof copy of the
second edition of P. B. Shelley's Poetical Works. Since the Collection’s move to The New
York Public Library in 1986, over thirty Mary Shelley manuscripts have been accessioned.

Related materials
In addition to manuscripts in Mary Shelley's hand, the Pforzheimer Collection holds a
significant amount of manuscript materials relating to her. Among the Collection's
manuscript correspondence addressed to her are letters by such figures as the Irish
songwriter Thomas Moore; the American writer Washington Irving; and her father, the
English writer William Godwin. Also held is an anonymous Italian translation, ca. 1840,
of her short story, "The Dream" (S'ANA 1049).
Various early editions of nearly all of Mary Shelley's published works are available,
including three first edition copies of Frankenstein. A secondary collection, tracing the
cultural trajectory of Frankenstein, includes later 19th century and 20th century editions of
the book, as well as comic book and illustrated adaptations, video recordings, and other
memorabilia. A growing number of Mary Shelley-related prints and other visual material
are also available, including an original scratchboard portrait by Mark Summers, and oil
portraits of William Shelley (by Amelia Curran) and Mary Wollstonecraft (by John Keenan
after John Opie).
Additional Mary Shelley manuscripts can be found in the Library's Berg Collection and
Manuscripts and Archives Division.
Arrangement
This guide considers the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley manuscript material in four series:
Series I, Writings; Series II, Correspondence; Series III, Amanuensis work for P. B. Shelley;
and IV, Transcripts in Mary Shelley's hand. Items published in Betty T. Bennett's Letters
of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, in supplements to Bennett from The Keats-Shelley
Journal, or in Shelley and his Circle, are noted with references.
Scope and content
The Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley manuscript material in the Pforzheimer Collection
consists of writings, correspondence, and transcripts. The writings include drafts of
poems ("The Choice" and "To the Dead") and several short stories ("The Sisters of
Albano," "The Dream," "Transformation," and others). The bulk of the correspondence
dates from between 1822-1849. Correspondents include Claire Clairmont, her stepsister;
Leigh Hunt, the journalist and critic; Lord Byron's last mistress, the Countess Teresa
Guiccioli; Edward Moxon, the publisher and poet; and over seventy-five others. The
transcripts are chiefly comprised of her handwritten copies of letters originally by her
husband, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Bennett's identification of Robins as the recipient is uncertain; the recipient had been previously and
erroneously been identified as "George W. Portman," a misreading of Mary Shelley's address for the
addressee.
23
Charles Robinson, the son of Joshua and Rosetta Robinson; Mary Shelley had known him since his birth
in 1815. Though the identity of the recipient of (MWS 0236) is not fully certain, Bennett asserts that the
letter was "almost certainly" to Robinson.
24
Rumble was the natural daughter of John Gisborne (cf. D. M. and M. K. Stocking, "New Shelley Letters in
a John Gisborne notebook," Keats-Shelley Memorial Bulletin 31 {1980}).
25
The note reads in full: ""Mr Gisborne’s journal, and all other papers belonging to him, was left me by his
Will. Mr Reveley was very angry with Mary Shelley for asking me to let her have them on my death. Mr
Reveley was not pleased with me for lending them to her (as I did) for more than two years. Mary Shelley
knew that by my Will I left everything that I possessed to Henry Reveley, son of Mrs Gisborne. E Rumble."
