SHELLEY, Mary Wollstonecraft (1797-1851). Autograph letter signed ("Mary Shelley") to the publisher Charles Ollier and [Henry] Colburn, Kentish Town, 5 December [postmarked 1825]. 1 page, 8vo, integral leaf with address panel, minor soiling . MARY SHELLEY REQUESTS WORDSWORTH AND KEATS. "I wrote some days ago requesting you to send me (from Mr. Colburn), Wordsworth's Poems and Keats's first publication [his Poems , 1817] containing [the poems] Sleep and Poetry. I am afraid some mistake has occurred, and I shall soon want the books in the correction of a proof sheet." As an afterthought, she also requests in a postscript the book Post Roads in France and the Literary Examiner . Charles Ollier had been Shelley's principal English publisher beginning with the political tract A Proposal for Putting Reform to the Vote (1817) and including The Revolt of Islam (1817), Rosalind and Helen (1819), The Cenci (1819), Prometheus Unbound (1820), Epsichydion (1821) Hellas: A Lyrical Drama (1822), etc. Following her husband's death in 1822, Mary Shelley continued her own writing (though without the success attained by her Frankenstein ) and undertook to edit her late husband's unpublished poetry and prose. These included Posthumous Poems (1824) and Essays, Letters From Abroad, Translations, and Fragments (1840).
