Percy Bysshe Shelley was married twice. In 1811 he married Harriet Westbrook, a tavern ownerâs daughter. In 1814, while still married to Westbrook, he eloped with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, the daughter of radical philosopher William Godwin and feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft. They married on December 30, 1816, shortly after Harrietâs death by suicide.
