Events[]

The Funeral of Shelley by Louis Edouard Fournier (1889); in the forefront from left: Edward John Trelawny, Leigh Hunt (who actually did not leave his carriage) and Lord Byron
  • July – English poets Lord Byron, Leigh Hunt and Percy Bysshe Shelley agree to start The Liberal, a quarterly published by John Hunt in London from 15 October; it lasts for four issues.
  • 8 July – Percy Bysshe Shelley, returning from setting up The Liberal in Livorno to Lerici, is drowned as his boat, the Don Juan, sinks in a storm. His decomposed body, washed ashore ten days later on the beach near Viareggio, is identified by a copy of Keats's Lamia and Isabella in the jacket pocket and cremated there in the presence of his friends Lord Byron and the adventurer Edward John Trelawny, who claims to have seized Shelley's heart from the flames. He gives it to Mary Shelley, who keeps it for the rest of her life. Shelley's ashes are interred at the Protestant Cemetery, Rome, where Keats was buried the year before.
