"Eminent literary and scientific men of Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Vol. 3" by Mary Shelley is a biographical volume published between 1835-1837. Part of a larger encyclopedia aimed at the self-educating middle class, this work presents biographies of important writers and thinkers from the 14th to 18th centuries. Shelley draws on her extensive historical knowledge to craft compelling narratives, while weaving in her political views supporting Italian independence and republicanism. The volume showcases her professional skill as a woman of letters navigating limited research materials to deliver engaging portraits of continental intellectuals.
