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.

Close window Close window Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was the daughter of William Godwin, a political theorist, novelist and publisher, and Mary Wollstonecraft, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Women . In 1814, she and Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was already married, fell in love and fled to Europe. During the summer of 1816, while visiting Lord Byron at his villa on Lake Geneva, Byron challenged each of his guests to write a ghost story. In response, Mary began writing what became Frankenstein , in rivalry with Byron's fragmentary "Vampyre." In December of that year, Mary and Percy were married, two weeks after his first wife committed suicide by drowning. Rescuers had taken Harriet Shelley's body to the receiving station of the London Society, where various methods, including artificial respiration and electric shock, were tried, but to no avail.

Publication details Contents Editor Recommend this title to your library Mary and Maria by Mary Wollstonecraft Matilda by Mary Shelley The Pickering Women's Classics Edited by Janet Todd This book brings together three extraordinary novels by an extraordinary pair, Mary Wollstonecraft - radical, feminist and author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - and Mary Shelley, her daughter, author of Frankenstein . Although Mary Shelley never knew her mother who died giving birth to her, the concerns of the daughter in Matilda reflect upon the convictions of the mother in Mary and Maria - that women have the right to equality of education and opportunity, to fair treatment in marriage and under the law, and, most controversially, that women have a duty to themselves to reject the trappings and false allure of traditional definitions of femininity and embrace a richer, wider notion of womanhood. Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is generally recognised as the mother of the feminist movement. She expressed her ideas in her first novel, Mary, a Fiction

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) 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. Adams claims that feminist literary critics and historians have failed to explore the associations that Shelley and a number of nineteenth and twentieth-century pacifists, such as Olive Shriener and Anna Kingsford, made between flesh eating, domestic violence, and war. These woman saw the elimination of violence on the dinner table as a first and necessary step toward eliminating violence on the domestic "front," and ultimately between nations. Extract from an article on an American University website (author unknown): Note: apparently Mary Shelley was also influenced by 'Observations on Man' by David Hartley and Ovid's Metamorphoses

MARY SHELLEY (1797-1851) Godwin believed that babies were born with potential just waiting to be tapped. This was the sole parent of Mary Godwin Shelley. She was the daughter of famous Mary Wollstonecraft, but Wollstonecraft died shortly after Shelley's birth from complications incurred during labor. Godwin would take Mary to the cemetery to teach her to spell her name. (Sunstein, 26) She accomplished it by tracing her mother's name on her tombstone.(26) Mary ran away to live with Percy Shelley when she was a teenager. Shelley was still married at the time, and although Godwin became estranged from his daughter, he remained close enough for judgment on her actions. Not counting several miscarriages, Shelley lost three out of four children. Percy died when she was in her twenties, leaving her with their only surviving child, Percy Florence. Her most famous work, Frankenstein , incorporates her maternal and motherless anguish present in her personal life.
