There they became friends with the Irish republican Margaret Mason Lady Margaret Mountcashell and her lover George William Tighe. Mrs Mason became the inspiration for Shelley's poem "The Sensitive Plant" and Shelley's discussions with Mason and Tighe influenced his political thought and his critical interest in the population theories of Thomas Malthus.<br><br> Size: Small quarto.
