42. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley The fame of British author mary wollstonecraft Shelley (17971851) rests entirely upon her single novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818). http://www.wondersmith.com/scifi/shelley.htm

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Biographical notes by Blake Wilfong "The labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed, scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind." There is a joke that goes, "Define universe . Give two examples." A similar joke might be, "Who was Mary Shelley? Name two of her works." The fame of British author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) rests entirely upon her single novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818). Indeed, Frankenstein is possibly the first full-fledged science fiction novel, and Mary Shelley the real "father" of the genre. Thanks to endless Hollywood movie adaptationswhich, albeit untrue to the book, are much more entertaining Frankenstein has become a cultural icon. Actually, Shelley did write other works, including more SF. Her 1826 novel The Last Man , set in the late 21st century, describes the downfall of mankind through war and plague. Some of her short stories are tales of the fantastic, and a couple qualify as science fiction. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born in London to philosopher William Godwin and author/feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. At the age of 16, she eloped with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley to Europe; they married after his first wife's suicide in 1816. Through her husband, Mary met Lord Byron, whose suggestion that she write a ghost story inspired her to conceive

Author Syndy McMillen Conger Iowa City, Iowa Written first as an introduction to the 1996 Pickering edition of the novels and selected works of Mary Shelley, then revised as a monograph for Johns Hopkins University Press, Betty Bennett’s Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley: An Introduction offers readers an expertly done overview of Mary Shelley’s life and works. Each of the four chapters situates Mary Shelley’s literary achievements in geopolitical time and place, discusses them in generic and intellectual contexts, and reviews previous criticism on the subject. Chapter 1 discusses History of A Six Weeks’ Tour and Frankenstein . They are not frequently considered side by side, but this chronological juxtaposition gives Bennett an opportunity to point to a political perspective at work in both texts that serves as a principle of content selection and bends genres into parodic structures. Mary Shelley’s “detestation of war and the concern for the abuse of power” surfaces frequently in both these books, as Bennett sees them, contributing to the uniqueness of

Stoicism promises real happiness and joy in this life and a serenity that can never be soured by personal misfortune.

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.

53. Mary (Wollstonecraft) Shelley Shelley was the daughter of the radicals William Godwin and mary wollstonecraft, both of whom sought to reform European society by means of ideas generated http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/wives/writers/shelley.html

Mary (Wollstonecraft) Shelley A number of feminist critics read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as an elaborate metaphor for childbirth. They draw on the links between creativity and birth that the novel suggests, but it is true that Shelley was physically concerned with birth during the year that Frankenstein was written: She gave birth to a son six months before she began the novel, and completed it four months before the birth of a daughter. Stories of the novel's origins are often rendered in terms of birth as well: Shelley "conceived" Frankenstein on a challenge from Lord Byron and her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, to tell the most frightening ghost story. What Mary Shelley produced was not so much a ghost story as a meditation on the dangers of genius and creativity, and of man's responsibility to his own creations, and to the world into which he introduces them. Shelley was the daughter of the radicals William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, both of whom sought to reform European society by means of ideas generated by the French Revolution. Wollstonecraft died shortly after giving birth to her daughter, but the young Mary read all of her mother's writings by the age of 10. Her unorthodox upbringing owed much to the philosophy of Godwin (although he was at times a remote figure in her childhood), whose deeply held belief that the individual has "absolute sovereignty" over himself found numerous adherents among contemporary Romantics. In fact, it was through Percy Shelley's connection to Godwin that Mary met her future husband.

Romantic Love Letters October 4, 1796 I would have liked to have dined with you today, after finishing your essay - that my eyes, and lips, I do not exactly mean my voice, might have told you that they had raised you in my esteem. What a cold word! I would say love, if you will promise not to dispute about its propriety, when I want to express an increasing affection, founded on a more intimate acquaintance with your heart and understanding. I shall cork up all my kindness - yet the fine volatile essence may fly off in my walk - you know not how much tenderness for you may escape in a voluptuous sigh, should the air, as is often the case, give a pleasurable movement to the sensations, that have been clustering round my heart, as I read this morning - reminding myself, every now and then, that the writer loved me. Voluptuous is often expressive of a meaning I do not now intend to give, I would describe one of those moments, when the senses are exactly tuned by the ringing tenderness of the heart and according reason entices you to live in the present moment, regardless of the past or future - it is not rapture - it is sublime tranquility. I have felt it in your arms - hush! Let not the light see, I was going to say hear it - these confessions should only be uttered - you know where, when the curtains are up - and all the world shut out - Ah me!

Within the year, at the age of sixteen Mary and Percy became lovers, even though Percy was already married. Mary's father forbad their relationship and in July 1814, Mary, Percy, and Mary's stepsister, Claire, left for France. They traveled through France, Switzerland, and Germany with little money and eventually had to return to England. In 1816, Mary gave birth to her first son and again Mary, Percy, and Claire traveled to the continent. They traveled to Switzerland where Lord Byron was living; both Mary and Percy were admirers of his work, and while living in London Claire had been his lover. It was in Switzerland, at Villa Diodati, that Mary Shelley first envisioned the outlines for Frankenstein . The group that had been staying at the villa was reading a book of German ghost stories, and they had decided that each member of the group should invent their own story. At first, Mary could not think of a story, but Byron, Percy, and Mary had had a conversation about the nature of life and whether it would ever be possible to reanimate a corpse. Thus

59. Mary Wollstonecraft Early in her life, mary wollstonecraft began making great contributions and brought forth new and not wellreceived views on women and society. http://departments.kings.edu/womens_history/marywoll.html

Mary Wollstonecraft Early in her life, Mary Wollstonecraft began making great contributions and brought forth new and not well-received views on women and society. When she was nineteen, she and her sister founded and taught in a school, an experience which led her to write Thoughts on the Education of Daughters. In this, she asserted her view that the young girls she taught had been "enslaved" by men through their social training. Wollstonecraft disagreed with the traditional teachings and believed that girls should study new topics. Richard Price, a minister at the local Dissenting Chapel, and friend to Wollstonecraft preached a sermon praising the French Revolution. He believed that the French had a right to remove a bad king from the throne. Edmund Burke wrote a reply to this sermon called Reflections on the Revolution in France. In his reply he argued that there should be inherited rights of the monarchy. Wollstonecraft was upset by this and wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Men in defense of Price’s sermon. She not only defended Price but also included what she thought was wrong in society, including slave trade and the manner in which the poor were treated. Wollstonecraft's most famous work, through which she gained her the reputation as a feminist, was A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This controversial work argued for the need for more civil rights for women, a cause which Wollstonecraft believed could only be furthered by permitting women better education .She asserted that a woman was capable of any intellectual feat that a man wasprovided that her early training did not brainwash her into deference to man. Wollstonecraft believed that women's freedom should extend to their sexual lives. In her writings, she compared married life for a woman to prostitution. She pursued her own sexual freedom through an affair, and bore an illegitimate child.

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
