Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was an English novelist, short story writer, and biographer best known for creating one of the most enduring figures of Gothic fiction: Frankenstein's monster. The daughter of philosopher William Godwin and feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, she wrote Frankenstein when she was only eighteen years old. The novel emerged from a ghost story competition at Lake Geneva with her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. Throughout her life, she wrote multiple novels, edited works, and biographies while raising her children following Percy's death.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein turns scientific ambition into a tragedy about creation, abandonment, and responsibility.
Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus
A gifted young scientist creates a grotesque creature, abandons it to horror and rejection, and is pursued across the world by the vengeance of a being whose isolation he could have prevented.
