Trivia
Mick Jagger read Shelley at a concert in Hyde Park in 1969, soon after the drowning death of The Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. Shelley's first wife drowned herself in Hyde Park in 1816.
Quotes
Harriet Shelley:
Evidently you are a stranger to scandal, Miss Godwin. Did you know I ran away with Percy when I was a girl? Idealism and love give us courage. But they do not prepare you for the sacrifice required to love a man like Percy.
Goofs
When Mary hands her manuscript over to Shelley, she puts it on his desk with the back of the folder to the right side. Yet when he picks it up, the back of the folder is facing left.
Crazy Credits
Even though the movie is clearly based on real people, including of course Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, Claire Clairmont and many others, the end titles include the ridiculous disclaimer that "The characters depicted in this motion picture are fictitious, and any similarity to the history of any person is entirely coincidental."
