In 1816 Shelley and Byron and their household shared the Villa Diodati on the shores of Lake Geneva. In September they gave Scrope Davies a package of manuscripts to take to their publisher in London. The parcel was never delivered and last year it was discovered in the vaults of a London branch of Barclays Bank. Apart from new versions of Canto III of Byron's Childe Harold and Shelley's Mont Blanc and Hymn to Fntellectual Beauty, the parcel contained two previously unknown sonnets by Shelley. Judith Chernaik. the Shelley scholar, describes this astonishing find' and discusses its literaryimportance.
