@CrazySingingNote I was just about to say that. He was still married to someone else at the time. They couldn't marry until his first wife died (she committed suicide after Percy sent her a letter that said he didn't love her any more)

I think that mary shelly maybe didn't percy to tell her about the scientists of the day. They where equals of intellect, no need to portray him as her mentor, more than she was his.
