Her last novel, Falkner, partially an attempt to absolve Shelley of charges of causing Harriet’s suicide, was published in 1837; its eponymous hero was based on Trelawny. She released Shelley’s Poetical Works and Letters in 1839. Thereafter she underwent periods of severe illness, with recoveries spent on the Continent with her son, Percy, and his friends. Her last book was Rambles in Germany and Italy. She died on February 21, 1851, in London after a series of strokes, and was buried in Bournemouth.
