Despite her talent, Mary Shelley was long overshadowed by the string of writers and intellectuals connected to her. She was the daughter of feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin, the wife of poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a close friend of Lord Byron. Enmeshed in such legacies, recognition of her achievements was largely limited to her efforts to publish her husband’s work. However since the 1970s, scholars have paid increasing attention to her own work. Her writing stands on its own—insightful, experimental, and poignant as it deals in themes of philosophical inquiry, the limitations of our humanity, and the order of the universe. Mary Shelley is essential reading for any student of literature, philosophy, or history.
