42. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley -- Biography mary wollstonecraft shelley, née mary wollstonecraft Godwin, was the only daughter of William Godwin and mary wollstonecraft. Their high expectations of her http://www.english.upenn.edu/Projects/knarf/MShelley/bio.html

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, was the only daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft . Their high expectations of her future are, perhaps, indicated by their blessing her upon her birth with both their names. She was born on 30 August in London. The labor was not difficult, but complications developed with the afterbirth. Despite expert attention, her mother sickened from placental infection and died eleven days after her birth, on 10 September. Mary was brought up with her elder sister Fanny Godwin , the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and her American lover Gilbert Imlay , who was adopted by Godwin and reared as his own child until the age of eleven when he disclosed her parentage to her. The family complications were considerably advanced in with Godwin's remarriage to his neighbor, the widowed Mary Jane Clairmont, which brought two further children, Charles and Claire Clairmont , into the household. A fifth sibling was added in with the birth of William Godwin, Jr.

GROSSMAN: "JOURNAL OF A TEENAGE ZOMBIE QUEEN" SHELDON GLEISSER: "CONVERTS" The judge of the Shelley Award, distinguished horror and fantasy writer Mort Castle, was so taken with the high quality of the submissions, that he dove into the material with enthusiasm and rendered decisions weeks earlier than expected. Thus, we have the privilege of delivering them earlier to our readers. The top prize winner and the four runner-ups listed alphabetically below will all be published in the April 2008 edition of ROSEBUD MAGAZINE, #41. The comments of judge Mort Castle accompany each prize designation. –Ed. TOP PRIZE: $1000, goes to Andrew Tisbert: for "LIVING WITH CREELY" This author understands that you need to risk being melodramatic in order to be honestly dramatic; it certainly worked for Charles Dickens and it works for Tisbert in this superbly crafted story. With its spot-on descriptions of wasting illness, it candidly presents horror that can befall anyone. It is no less spot-on in its depiction of human relationships. Finally, the story refuses to take any of the sappy bromides as its theme: Not "Love will endure," not "Faith means salvation in the here and now," not "Imagination is the Balm in Gilead." There is something much bleaker and far more honest being said here—being said beautifully.

This document is distributed under the GNU Public License. Table of contents Preface Chapter I Chapter II Chapter III ... Chapter XXIV Preface     THE event on which this fiction is founded has been supposed, by Dr. Darwin, and some of the physiological writers of Germany, as not of impossible occurrence. I shall not be supposed as according the remotest degree of serious faith to such an imagination; yet, in assuming it as the basis of a work of fancy, I have not considered myself as merely weaving a series of supernatural terrors. The event on which the interest of the story depends is exempt from the disadvantages of a mere tale of spectres or enchantment. It was recommended by the novelty of the situations which it develops; and, however impossible as a physical fact, affords a point of view to the imagination for the delineating of human passions more comprehensive and commanding than any which the ordinary relations of existing events can yield.     I have thus endeavoured to preserve the truth of the elementary principles of human nature, while I have not scrupled to innovate upon their combinations. The Iliad, the tragic poetry of Greece- Shakespeare, in the Tempest/and Midsummer Night's Dream- and most especially Milton, in Paradise Lost, conform to this rule; and the most humble novelist, who seeks to confer or receive amusement from his labours, may, without presumption, apply to prose fiction a licence, or rather a rule, from the adoption of which so many exquisite combinations of human feeling have resulted in the highest specimens of poetry.

A Biographical Sketch of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) Charlotte Pabst-Kastner, Associate Lecturer, Open University (UK) ary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on 30 August 1797, the daughter of eminent parents . Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was the foremost feminist thinker of her generation, remembered today for her A Vindication of the Rights of Woman , a passionate plea for state- regulated education for girls. She laid the utmost stress on female independence. Mary's father, William Godwin, was a radical political philosopher and novelist (he wrote both Political Justice and Caleb Williams ). Mary's parents adhered to revolutionary principles both in politics and in their private lives, but in spite of despising the institution of marriage they took the step after all to facilitate Mary's entrance into society. However, Mary Wollstonecraft died ten days after the birth of her daughter from puerperal fever. Her daughter from an affair with Gerald Imlay, Fanny, lived with William Godwin and his new-born child. Before her marriage to poet Percy Bysshe Shelley , despite the fact that she had grown up without ever knowing her birth mother Mary always referred to herself as "Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin." After her marriage, she dropped the "Godwin," but hung on to her mother's name, signing her letters "MWS."

International Vegetarian Union (IVU) Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley A miniature by Reginal Easton [Bodleian Library, Oxford] A Painting by Richard Rothwell [National Portrait Gallery] Extract from a review of The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol Adams Dismemberment of a text can be achieved in a number of ways, including ignoring the text entirely, failing to acknowledge the vegetarian message in the text, or trivializing it, and by distorting the message so that it is consistent with and indistinguishable from the dominant discourse of meat. Adams argues that feminist literary critics and historians are among those who have dismembered such texts, and in using some of the same tools that patriarchy uses to silence feminists texts, these feminists have silenced some of their won feminist vegetarian sisters. Mary Shelly's FRANKENSTEIN is a case in point. FRANKENSTEIN has received an enormous amount of critical attention over the past two decades from feminists and other critics, all of whom have neglected to explore the vegetarian themes in the novel. Frankenstein's creature is a vegetarian. Adams says: "The Creature's vegetarianism not only confirms its inherent, original benevolence, but conveys Mary Shelley's precise rendering of themes articulated by a group of her contemporaries whom I call `Romantic vegetarians'" (p. 109). The story "bears the vegetarian word," as Adams puts it, in a variety of ways: by alluding to the literal words of famous, historical vegetarians; by allowing fictional characters to allude to famous vegetarians; by translating vegetarian texts; by using language which reveals the function of the absent referent. Shelley grew up in an intellectual environment in which vegetarianism was much discussed and often adopted by such writers and activists as

53. Mary Shelley Biography mary shelley was born in London in 1797, the daughter of William Godwin and mary wollstonecraft, two radical writers. Her mother died when she was only ten http://www.applebookshop.co.uk/author/shelley.htm

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) Mary Shelley Mary Shelley was born in London in 1797, the daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, two radical writers. Her mother died when she was only ten days old. In 1816 she married Percy Bysshe Shelley, then unknown, and they lived in Italy until Shelley's death in 1822. The idea for Frankenstein came to her when she was staying on Lake Geneva in 1816 but was not published for two years. She wrote several other novels and contributed to the Westminster Review. She died in February 1851." It is quite difficult to believe that a young girl of 18 years old would be the author of a book that would become the first monster film, creation film, bionic film, horror film, publicly banned film, and the first of many Frankenstein films. But we must give this young girl credit for her literary talent and active imagination. Mary Shelley is responsible for many fine literary works of art but none are as famous as Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus published in 1818. The tale Shelley tells is of a young Dr. Frankenstein who tries to create a living being but instead creates a monster. There are many interesting theories on the reasons why Shelley wrote Frankenstein. The book was started while vacationing at Lake Geneva with her husband Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidari. Lord Byron challenged the group to write a ghost story. Mary was slow to come up with an idea for her story but after she had the following "waking" nightmare she began to write the famous Frankenstein novel that would take her almost 2 years to publish:
