Memorias de los últimos días de Byron y Shelley

E. J. Trelawny, sailor, perhaps pirate, writer and adventurer, walking embodiment of the Byronian hero and surrendered enthusiast of the genius of Shelley, lived with the two poets his last days, of which these Memoirs (1858) are a privileged chronicle. Trelawny discovered and cremated Shelley's body on the beach at Massa, and always paid tribute to her delicacy and generosity; He later veiled Byron's body in Missolonghi, and used the occasion to closely inspect the mysteries of his limp. In an unusual mix of travel book, psychological study, artist biography and epic history, these memoirs are both a living document and an original endeavor of literary creation.
