Set in a plague-ravaged future, this apocalyptic science fiction novel explores themes of isolation and humanity's fragility. It features semi-biographical portrayals of key Romantic figures, including Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, providing a unique lens on their lives and relationships. Initially met with harsh criticism, the book gained recognition during a revival in the 1960s, highlighting its significance within the genre and its reflection of Shelley’s own experiences and connections.
