We watch them as they approach from the opposite side of the lalke, observing the lightning play among the clouds in various parts of the heavens, and dart in jagged figures upon the piny heights of Jura, dark with the shadow of the overhanging cloud, whle perhaps the sun is shining cheerily upon us. One night we enjoyed a finer storm than I had ever before behled. The lake was lit upthe pines on Jura made visible, and all the scene illuminated for an instant, when a pitchy blackness succeeded, and the thunder came in frightful bursts over our heads amid the darkness. ... To the south of the town is the promenade of the Genevese, a grassy plain planted with a few trees, and called Plainpalais. Here a small obelisk is erected to the glory of Rousseau, and here (such is the mutability of human life) the magistrates, the successors of those who exiled him from his native country, were shot by the populace during that revolution, which his writings mainly contributed to mature, and which, notwithstanding the temporary bloodshed and injustice with which it was polluted, has produced enduring benefits to mankind .... From respect to the memory of their predecessors, none of the present magistrates ever walk in Plainpalais. ... 20

Biography Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) Mary is born in Somers Town, Great Britain, in 1797 to well-known parents: author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and philosopher William Godwin . Unfortunately, Wollstonecraft dies as the result of Mary's birth. Mary is therefore raised by her father and a much resented stepmother. When Mary is sixteen she meets the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley , a devotee of her father's teachings. Together with Mary's stepsister, they run off to continental Europe several times, not hindered by the fact that Shelley was already married. In 1816, they go abroad again, this time spending time with Byron and his friend Polidori in Geneva. There Byron suggests that they should all write a ghost story. Mary writes Frankenstein , the only story of the four that was ever to be published as a novel. Later that same year, Percy's wife drowns herself: Percy and Mary marry in December 1816. The last years of married life are filled with disaster for Mary. Her half sister dies as do two of her children. Mary becomes depressed, a tendency she probably inherited from her mother. She is only partly relieved by the birth of Percy, their only surviving child. Mary and Percy eventually move to Italy where Percy drowns during a sailing trip in 1822. Mary is determined to keep the memory of her late husband alive. She publishes several editions of Percy's writings and adds notes and prefaces to them.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Mary Shelley The first meeting between Godwin and Wollstonecraft took place at a dinner party at Godwin's home. Drawn to each other by virtue of their shared philosophical beliefs, the two began an affair begun in the autumn of 1796. When Mary discovered that she was pregnant, the couple decided to marry in order to legitimate both of Mary's children. The couple, however, in adherence to their enlightened views, continued to live and work independently. The pair remained devoted to each other, and Godwin was devastated when Wollstonecraft died shortly after the birth of their daughter, Mary. Although he was fond of his daughters, the task of raising them alone proved too much for Godwin, and he immediately set about finding a second wife. His proposal to Maria Reveley, who would later become Mary's best friend, was rejected. He later married Mary Jane Clairmont, the first woman to respond to his overtures. This second wife proved to be a cruel, shallow woman who neglected Fanny and Mary in favor of her own children. Mary (who was so lively that her father had nicknamed her Mercury) was frequently whipped for impertinence; rebellion came naturally to the headstrong Mary, and she refused to be subdued. Though the girls were given lessons in domesticity (cooking, cleaning, and other wifely duties) Mary could not feign interest in such pursuits: she would simply take up a book and let the dinner burn. Her father was the most important person in her life, and his favor meant everything to her. She excelled in her lessons and could hold her own in adult conversation ­ often with the great minds of her time ­ from a remarkably early age. Around the age of eight, she began reading the writings of her mother. By the time she was ten, she had memorized every word.

Mary Shelley N ovelista inglesa, hija del filósofo británico William Godwin y de la escritora y feminista Mary Wollstonecraft. Nació en Londres y recibió una educación privada. Conoció al joven poeta Percy Bysshe Shelley en mayo de 1814 y dos meses más tarde abandonó Inglaterra con él. Cuando la primera esposa de Shelley murió, en diciembre de 1816, la pareja contrajo matrimonio. En 1818 Mary publicó la primera y más importante de sus obras, la novela Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo . Esta obra, un logro más que notable para una autora de sólo 20 años, se convirtió de inmediato en un éxito de crítica y público. La historia de Frankenstein, estudiante de lo oculto y de su criatura subhumana creada a partir de cadáveres humanos, ha sido llevada al teatro y al cine en varias ocasiones. Ninguna de sus obras posteriores alcanzó la popularidad o la excelencia de esta primera, pese a que escribió otras cuatro novelas, varios libros de viajes, relatos y poemas. Su novela El último hombre (1826), considerada lo mejor de su producción, narra la futura destrucción de la raza humana por una terrible plaga. Lodore (1835) es una autobiografía novelada. Tras la muerte de su esposo, en 1822, Mary se dedicó a difundir la obra del poeta. Publicó así sus Poemas póstumos (1824) y editó sus Obras poéticas (1839) con valiosas y detalladas notas. ©
