The book focuses on the network of writers and readers who gathered around Percy Bysshe Shelley and the campaigning journalist Leigh Hunt. They included Lord Byron, John Keats, and Mary Shelley, as well as a host of fascinating lesser-known figures: Mary Shelley's stepsister and Byron's mistress, Claire Clairmont; Hunt's botanist sister-in-law, Elizabeth Kent; the musician Vincent Novello; the painters Benjamin Haydon and Joseph Severn; and writers such as Charles and Mary Lamb, Thomas Love Peacock, and William Hazlitt. They were characterized by talent, idealism, and youthful ardor, and these qualities shaped and informed their politically oppositional stances. \"In firm, clear, often elegant prose,  Daisy Hay] narrates the main events in the lives of her subjects from 1813, when they began to coalesce around Hunt in London, till 1822\" (Ben Downing, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eYoung Romantics\u003c\/i\u003e is an enthralling tale of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and friendship played out against a backdrop of political turbulence and intense literary creativity. \"Hay's account of the passionate and messy lives of her Romantics is vivid, picturesque, and finely told\" (Richard Eder, \u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaisy Hay\u003c\/b\u003e recently completed a doctorate in English literature at Cambridge.
