"But success shall crown my endeavours. Wherefore not? Thus far I have gone, tracking a secure way over the pathless seas: the very stars themselves being witnesses and testimonies of my triumph.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) M ary Wollstonecraft Shelley was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley , and the author of one of the most widely read and often redacted novels of the past two centuries. Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus was born out of a series of conversations she had during the summer of 1816 with Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and Dr. John Polidori. Mary cites conversations between Shelley and Byron about Erasmus Darwin ("they talked about the experiments of Dr. Darwin ") and Luigi Galvani ("perhaps a corpse would be re-animated; galvanism had given token of such things") as sources for her own idea of a reanimated human ("perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth") in her introduction to the 1831 edition of the novel (first edition 1818). When asked to explain why he has created a monstrous life form (one that would eventually destroy him), Mary's Victor Frankenstein offers an explanation based on the concept of "species." "A new species would bless me as its creator," he says to Captain Walton in the opening pages of the novel. Mary clearly sees this attempt to create life as connected to the creation of a species. Of course, Victor does not really create a new species at all; he creates a hybrid, a human being composed of the parts of other humans and other animals, since some of his raw materials come from the "slaughterhouse." Mary's creature presumably lacks a soul, at least in the minds of most of her 1818 readers. But when Victor considers the "race of demons" that might populate the world if he goes through with his plan to create a female companion for the "wretch," he clearly places

For information on Shelley's complete career, see NCLC, Volumes 14 and 59. INTRODUCTION Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is best remembered for her 1818 novel, Frankenstein, the story of a man who brings a monster to life. Although that work was very popular in her time and continues to be read today, the 1959 publication of Mathilda renewed interest in Shelley's work as a writer who explored themes of incest, familial relationships, and psychological trauma in her fiction. Mathilda was never published in Shelley's lifetime, its publication having been suppressed by Shelley's father and publisher, William Godwin, because of the autobiographical nature of the work. Since its discovery and publication by Elizabeth Nitchie in the mid-twentieth century, the work has mostly been studied as a psychological and autobiographical text, continuing to fuel debate regarding Shelley's relationship with her father as well as her husband, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Biographical Information Mary Shelley was born in 1797 to two of the foremost intellectuals of the eighteenth century, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft. An outspoken advocate of women's rights, Shelley's mother died shortly after Shelley's birth and her father became the primary caretaker for the first few years of young Mary's life. Shelley's attachment to her father was powerful and it was to become a major theme in her work, especially

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (née Godwin) was born in London in 1797.  She married the poet Percy Shelley in 1816.  Her most famous work is Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus (1818) (cf. Fuseli - Prometheus ) as it is also known.  She started to write it at the age of 18, but did not have it published until she was 21.  Mary Shelley was left to educate herself amongst her father’s friends including Coleridge and Percy Shelley (whom she later married).  At the age of 16 she ran away to Venice, Italy with Percy Shelley.  Three years later they married.  They returned to England shortly thereafter. Themes and Influences: Shelley was challenged by Lord Byron and Percy Shelley to write the most frightening ghost story of all time.  Mary Shelley revealed in the 1831 edition of Frankenstein that the story had come from a dream she had, in which she described what she saw: “the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion.”  Life, death, biology, anatomy, and the supernatural were the main influences and themes used by Mary Shelley.

My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create.” Started as a ghost story and inspired by a conversation Shelley had overheard between her husband Percy Bysshe Shelly and Lord George Gordon Byron talking about galvanism, it soon became one of the first best selling works by a female author. Sir Walter Scott mistakenly thought it had been written by Percy, and it received mixed reviews, but today it is still widely read and has inspired various adaptations to the stage and screen. The Gothic movement evolved from Romanticism, delving deeper into profound philosophical questions like the quest of man to achieve perfection, and through a character even at first so disturbing as the scientifically created Creature we ultimately see all of humanity’s moral struggles. Shelley adopted much of her father William Godwin’s philosophical ideas and in

Essays Links Sources Home The Life of Mary Shelley This essay was written by Kim A. Woodbridge, the owner of this site. Mary Shelley, born August 30, 1797, was a prominent, though often overlooked, literary figure during the Romantic Era of English Literature. She was the only child of Mary Wollstonecraft, the famous feminist, and William Godwin , a philosopher and novelist. She was also the wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley . Mary's parents were shapers of the Romantic sensibility and the revolutionary ideas of the left wing. Mary, Shelley, Byron , and Keats were principle figures in Romanticism's second generation. Whereas the poets died young in the 1820's, Mary lived through the Romantic era into the Victorian. Mary was born during the eighth year of the French Revolution. "She entered the world like the heroine of a Gothic tale: conceived in a secret amour, her birth heralded by storms and portents, attended by tragic drama, and known to thousands through Godwin's memoirs. Percy Shelley would elevate the event to mythic status in his Dedication to The Revolt of Islam" .( from pg. 21 of Romance and Reality by Emily Sunstein.) From infancy, Mary was treated as a unique individual with remarkable parents. High expectations were placed on her potential and she was treated as if she were born beneath a lucky star. Godwin was convinced that babies are born with a potential waiting to be developed. From an early age she was surrounded by famous philosophers, writers, and poets:
