Despite her reputation as one of the foremost English novelists of the nineteenth century, Shelley also wrote numerous stories for magazines and other publications, earning a reputation as a gifted storyteller in all forms of fiction. In “The Sisters of Albano,” a traveler resting on the banks of an Italian lake strikes up a conversation with a beautiful Countess. Inspired by the history and landscape of the region, the Countess tells the tragic story of a local family. During the French occupation of Italy under Napoleon’s rule, Anina and Maria live vastly different lives. Maria, the older sister, is a nun at the convent of Santa Chiara in Rome, while Anina, the younger, is in love with a mysterious outlaw named Domenico. When the French arrive in Albano, Anina goes searching for Domenico, who has gone into hiding with other members of the local resistance.

It was during a summer spent with Lord Byron and friends near Geneva in 1816, that Mary conceived the idea for her novel Frankenstein. The Shelleys left Britain in 1818 for Italy and it was during this time that the collected tales and stories in this volume were penned. These are the stuff of Mary Shelley's richly Romantic stories. Set against varying backdrops of medieval chivalry, the wars and revolutions of her age, and grandiose scenes of nature, her tales mark a high point in the Gothic storytelling art. Long out of the public’s eye, these stories are once again made available in ebook format. Tragically in 1822, her husband, the acclaimed poet, Percy Shelley, drowned when his sailing boat sank during a storm near Viareggio. Thereafter Mary Shelley returned to Britain to focus on bringing up her only living child, Percy Florence Shelley.
