Shelley''s guitar

This entry records a guitar that belonged to the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Instruments owned by writers and other figures outside music are collected for the light they throw on the domestic life and pastimes of their owners, and a guitar of the early nineteenth century would have been a common household instrument for accompanying songs. The source record identifies the instrument by its association with Shelley rather than by maker or model, so no builder, date, materials or dimensions are given on this page, and none are claimed.
