First sentence: IN AN INTRODUCTION to an edition of Mary Shelley's Tales and Stories in 1891, Richard Garnett observed that "in these little tales [Mary Shelley] is her perfect self, and the reader will find not only the entertainment of interesting fiction, but a fair picture of the mind...of a lonely, thwarted, misunderstood woman, who could seldom do herself justice, and whose precise place in the contemporary constellation of genius remains to be determined.
