Mary Shelley provides a detailed study of the famous author’s extensive contribution to the Gothic genre. Angela Wright examines the key novels alongside the short stories, revealing how the Gothic themes and motifs that energised Frankenstein resurface in some of Shelley’s later works.
Two hundred years after its initial publication, Mary Shelleys Frankenstein remains one of the most masterful examples of Gothic literature. In Mary Shelley, Angela Wright reappraises the significance of Frankenstein alongside others of Shelleys works in order to display the significance and fluctuating meanings of the Gothic style during the Romantic period. She offers fresh scholarly readings of both the 1818 and 1831 editions of Frankenstein, as well as chapters upon the fiction that Shelley composed in between both editions and later in the 1830s.
In its broader examination of Mary Shelleys work, this book is the first of its kind within the field of Gothic studies. Alongside sustained explorations of Frankenstein, Matilda, Valperga, and The Last Man, Wright also examines some of the shorter essays and tales that the author composed for contemporary magazines. Studying Shelleys parental heritage, her infamous relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley, and her experiences during the summer of 1816, when she wrote Frankenstein, Wright offers a thoroughly contextualized appraisal of the author and her works that reexamines the extent to which Shelley participated in and redirected the Gothic tradition.
