Shelley's vivid love story dramatises the misplaced passion between Matilda, Contessa di Laurentini, Verezzi, the object of her crazed desire, and Matilda's murderous accomplice, the mysterious Zastrozzi. When Matilda discovers that her love is unrequited, she traps Verezzi in her castle and orders Zastrozzi to kill Julia - the woman Verezzi loves. But Zastrozzi has his own agenda. A quintessential novel of 'sensibility', Zastrozzi reveals the youthful Shelley's innate creative flair.
