DirectRooms.com – Oxford to Host Celebration of Literary Household the Shelleys Until March 27, 2011
Few families get to boast of their history of having a globally famous author in their family tree, but Oxford is set to host an exhibition which shines a light on a family which had more than one - the Shelleys.
Oxford, United Kingdom, February 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- 'Shelley's Ghost: Reshaping the Image of a Literary Family' will run in Oxford's Bodleian Library until March 27th 2011 and anyone wanting to book a hotel room close to the event itself should book well in advance, recommends DirectRooms.com.
The Shelley family tree begins at the top with parents William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft - themselves both successful and renowned published writers of their day - and latterly father and mother to the world famous Mary Shelley and of course Percy Bysshe Shelley. Fans of Frankenstein or Percy's poetry such as Ozymandias can enjoy indulging themselves in the exhibition into the family's origins and inspirations.
Oxford offers so much in historic terms to the traveller or visitor, but this event with a limited run is drawing literary fans from around the world to visit the dreaming spires this February and March.
With that in mind leading online hotel room booking site DirectRooms.com is recommending early booking of Oxford hotels to secure the best prices and availability close to the famous - and picturesque - Bodleian Library.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, says: “The Shelleys are of course a fascinating and renowned literary household, and the chance to see so much of their family history in one place at this exhibition is too much for fans of their writings. Early booking of rooms in nearby hotels is the way to ensure you don't have to travel halfway across Oxford to see the show."
