In 1816, following the scandalous collapse of his marriage, Lord Byron left England forever. His first destination was the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva where he stayed together with Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Godwin, Claire Clairmont and John Polidori. Byron in Geneva focuses sharply on the poet’s life in the summer of that year, a famous time for meteorologists (for whom 1816 is the year without a summer), but also that crucial moment in the development of his writing when, urged on by Shelley, Byron tried to transform himself into a Romantic poet of the Wordsworthian variety. The book gives a vivid impression of what Byron thought and felt in these few months after the breakdown of his marriage, but also explores the different aspects of his nature that emerge in contact with a remarkable cast of supporting characters, which also included Madame de Staël, who presided over a famous salon in Coppet, across the lake from Geneva, and Matthew Lewis, author of the splendidly erotic `Gothic’ best-seller, The Monk. David Ellis sets out to challenge recent damning studies of Byron and through his meticulous exploration of the private and public life of the poet at this pivotal moment, he reasserts the value of Byron’s wit, warm-heartedness, and hatred of cant.

In 1816 Mary Godwin (Shelley) and poet-philosopher Percy Shelley traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to spend the summer with their friend Lord Byron. They whiled away their time on the waterfront boating, writing and talking late into many summer nights. This was the summer in which Frankenstein was conceived. Research suggests that Mary, Percy, Lord Byron and Byron's guest, physician and writer, John Polidori, decided, at the suggestion of Lord Byron, to have a competition to see who could write the best supernatural story. It seems the summer was rainy and the group spent many hours amusing themselves reading German ghost stories and were thusly inspired. Shortly thereafter Mary Godwin had a waking dream and Frankenstein was born. Mary was 19-years-old. Also, born of the same competition was the most famous of John Polidori's works: The Vampyre. This story was originally credited to Lord Byron; however, both he and Polidori attested it was indeed conceived and written by Polidori. Contained within this publication: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, John Polidori's The Vampyre plus an excerpt from The Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley by Julian Marshall and an excerpt from the Selected English Letters (XV-XIX) arranged by M. Duckitt and H. Wragg (1913).

Qualifying as a doctor in 1815 at the tender age of nineteen, John Polidori was employed less than a year later by the poet, Lord Byron, as his travelling physician. The precocious medic was seemingly destined for a bright future that would enable him to combine his profession with a love of literature. In His Masters Reflection, the authors follow Polidoris footsteps as he accompanies Byron through Europe to Switzerland where they eventually meet the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont. Fulfilling his fathers prophecy, the fateful summer will prove to have a devastating impact on Polidoris life and legacy. Byrons keen wit and elevated status would leave the sensitive doctor feeling isolated and undervalued. Fuelled by acerbic comments from the poets friends, Byron finally releases Polidori from his contract, leaving the penniless medic to wander over the Alps on foot to Italy, his fathers homeland. Despite attempts at establishing himself as a doctor to the expatriate community, he has to admit defeat and return to England. Still harbouring literary ambitions, his one chance at fame is cruelly denied when The Vampyre, the story he had written in Geneva, is attributed to Byron. Gossip and retelling of events have cast Polidori in the role of a petulant plagiarist. Concussion from a riding accident deeply affected Polidoris temperament and behaviour, leaving questions surrounding his death, which history has recorded as suicide by prussic acid, despite the coroners verdict of visitation by God. The authors delve into his final years in an attempt to redress the balance. The handsome Polidori was more than just his masters reflection.
