Title: The Other Mary Shelley
Description: Although Frankenstein is now widely read, little attention has been paid to the considerable corpus of Mary Shelly's other works. Ironically, the excitment of the last decade of faminist approaches to Frankenstein has obscured the persona of its author. This book presents the "other Mary Shelley": the writer whose shrewd assessments of Romanticism, gender, and society resonate strongly in the setting of contemporary politics, culture, and feminism.
