2 unusual facts about Julian and Maddalo


Julian and Maddalo

Shelley originally intended the poem to appear in The Examiner, a Radical paper edited by Leigh Hunt, but then decided instead on anonymous publication by Charles Ollier.

This plan fell through, and "Julian and Maddalo" first appeared after Shelley's death in a volume of his works called Posthumous Poems in 1824 (see 1824 in poetry), edited by his widow.
