 | Villa Diodati is a five-room MOOspace,
located in the virtual world of Romantic Circles. It takes its name
from the house in the Swiss village of Cologny, with a splendid view of
Lake Leman, that Lord Byron rented in the legendary summer of 1816. Byron
and his physician/companion John Polidori were joined at the Villa Diodati
throughout the summer by the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont for talks that
often lasted long into the night. It was, of course, a famous
story-telling contest held at the Villa Diodati that served as the impetus
for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Teaching in the Moo with a bibliography
