The Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley

2003

This scholarly collection examines Mary Shelley's life, works, and literary significance through critical essays that analyze her novels, including Frankenstein, within their historical, cultural, and biographical contexts. The companion explores Shelley's contributions to Romantic literature, Gothic fiction, and early science fiction while considering her position as both the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley.
