Shelley makes the following mention of this poem in his publication of the "History of a Six Weeks' Tour, and Letters from Switzerland": 'The poem entitled "Mont Blanc" is written by the author of the two letters from Chamouni and Vevai.
No one has so successfully attempted to invest scenes, in themselves beautiful, with the additional and powerful interest of ideal recollections.

Nature made Switzerland a land of rugged magnificence.
She was born at Vevai in 1700; she married early, and early disagreed with her husband, from whom she eventually went away, abandoning family, religion, country, and means of subsistence, with all gaiety of heart.
Smiling, she read the good priest's letter, and sent me back to the house for breakfast. Louise Éléonore de Warens, daughter of a noble family of Vevai, in the Vaud country, had early married M. de Warens, of Lausanne.
