As Balsoft said, that is part of the punchline of the joke: People only know him now as Mary Shelly's husband.

    I mean, I'm a big fan of Percy Shelley's poetry, the fact that he isn't taught more IMO has to do with the liberatory character of his writing more than he was an inferior writer to Mary. Mary's book is great, but PBS was an incredible writer whose work has wide cultural significance, even if we aren't like forced to read it in school or whatever.

    People should read more PBS, he should be more popular.
