# History of a Six Weeks' Tour Through a Part of France, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland:

_With Letters Descriptive of a Sail Round the Lake of Geneva, and of the Glaciers of Chamouni._

By Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

"History of a Six Weeks' Tour Through a Part of France, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland" by Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley is a travel narrative published in 1817. This work chronicles two journeys: a daring elopement across Europe in 1814 and a fateful summer at Lake Geneva in 1816 that inspired "Frankenstein". Combining journal entries, letters, and Percy's poem "Mont Blanc", the narrative blends Romantic enthusiasm with surprisingly frank political commentary. The text captures youthful spontaneity while subtly revealing the radical ideas of its authors. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
