History is filled with great, enduring love stories, from Napoleon and Josephine to Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson.Here are some of history’s most consequential trysts: 历史上写满了精彩，隽永的爱情故事。从拿破仑与约瑟芬的故事到爱德华王子与华里丝·辛普森 的故事。下面这些故事都曾对历史进程产生重大影响： 1. Mary Godwin & Percy Bysshe Shelley 戈德温·玛丽与珀西·比希·雪莱 One of the great unions of literary history began in 1814, when the 16-year-old Mary Godwin and the dreamy, but very married, 21-year-old romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley met in secret at the grave of Mary’s famous suffragette mother, Mary Wollstonecraft. There, as Mary later recounted, the two touched each other with the “full ardour of love,” an ardor that would eventually leave the aspiring writer pregnant and Shelley estranged from his wife. 这段恋情堪称文学史最伟大的结合之一：故事始于1814年，16岁的玛丽·戈德温与那位耽于幻想、却已然成婚的21岁浪漫主义诗人雪莱在玛丽母亲的墓前秘密相会了。玛丽的母亲玛丽· 沃斯通克拉夫特是当时著名的妇女参政权论者。在那里，据玛丽之后回忆，两个“怀着满心爱恋”的人儿有了肌肤之亲。这份爱恋最终让这位有抱负的女作家怀孕了，而雪莱与妻子的关系日益疏远。 The了Fallout: The lovers were married a few years later after Shelley’s pregnant wife drowned herself in Hyde Park, but their tumultuous partnership ended when the poet drowned a few years later. Still, it would produce some literary masterpieces, including Mary’s classic Frankenstein, which she conceived while on holiday in Switzerland with Shelley and Lord Byron in 1816. |
