After a brilliant day of papers and a monograph workshop at our PGR & ECR conference, Trinity College let us see some of their collection in the Wren Library, including PB Shelley’s famous register entry from the Hotel de Villes de Londres!

A group of people walking into the Wren Library, with a statue of Lord Byron at the back.

The hotel register in which Shelley declared he was going to “L’Enfer”, and was a lover of humanity, democrat, and atheist.

1798 and 1800 editions of Lyrical Ballads, the former with Coleridge’s own annotations.

A letter claiming to be Lord Byron’s first. The postscript reads, “I hope you will excuse all blunders as it is the first I ever wrote.”
