Le 28 juillet 1814, alors qu’il est déjà marié et père d’un enfant, Percy Bysshe Shelley s’enfuit sur le Continent avec la toute jeune Mary Godwin. Dans un étonnant périple de six semaines, à pied, à dos d’âne, en voiture ou en canoë, ils vont traverser une France dévastée par les guerres révolutionnaires avant de gagner la Suisse puis de suivre le cours enchanté du Rhin en Allemagne et en Hollande. Deux ans plus tard, les voici repartis vers la Suisse, à Genève, où Byron les rejoint bientôt pour un été qui appartient à la mythologie littéraire comme celui où la future Mary Shelley conçut l’idée de Frankenstein. Sur les pas de Rousseau ou en excursion sur la Mer de Glace, les jeunes gens découvrent des lieux émouvants ou sublimes qui laisseront une empreinte durable sur leur œuvre littéraire. Écrit à deux mains, Histoire d’un voyage de six semaines, publié à l’automne 1817, contient leurs impressions de ces deux voyages ainsi que l’un des plus grands poèmes de Percy Shelley, « Mont Blanc ». Entre fragmentation et unité, réalité et invention, cette œuvre profondément romantique, traduite pour la première fois intégralement en français, fait du récit de voyage une véritable composition poétique.
