Cite this article Email this article Printable article Mary Shelley M ary Shelley was born on August 30, 1797 in London England to William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft. She was the second daughter the authors who sought social political rights. Unfortunately Mary's mother died September 1797, a month after she gave birth. After his wife's death, Godwin composed an in depth memoir of his wife's life. However, his attempt to immortalize Wollstonecraft was not well received by the public, as they thought her suicide attempts were due to "a lack of religious conviction." Eventually Godwin remarried. Mary's relationship with her stepmother was difficult. Mary did not receive a formal education. She was taught to read by her father and reveled in conversation between her father and visitors who were interested in his and his deceased wife's publications and interests. In November 1812, Mary met Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife, Harriet Westbrook Shelley. Percy was a wealthy man who donated funds to Godwin because he thought it humane to aid those in need. He slowly grew weary of his wife and grew fond of Mary. Two years later, they fled to France because Godwin forbade the two to see each other on account that Percy was still married to Harriet.

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Mary Shelley (1797-1851): The Last Man Mary Shelley, most famous for her novel Frankenstein , was the daughter of the feminist theorist Mary Wollstonecraft and William Goodwin. She maried the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and became a member of the circle of young English Romantic writers. The Last Man was written as an expression of her, grief after Shelley's death in 1822. I Awoke in the morning, just as the higher windows of the lofty houses received the first beams of the rising sun. The birds were chirping, perched on the window sills and deserted thresholds of the doors. I awoke, and my first thought was, Adrian and Clara are dead. I no longer shall be hailed by their good-morrow-or pass the long day in their society. I shall never see them more. The ocean has robbed me of them-stolen their hearts of love from their breasts, and given over to corruption what was dearer to me than light, or life, or hope. I was an untaught shepherd-boy, when Adrian deigned to confer on me his friendship. The best years of my life had been passed with him. All I had possessed of this world's goods, of happiness, knowledge, or virtue-I owed to him. He had, in his person , his intellect, and rare qualities, given a glory to my life, which without him it had never known. Beyond all other beings he had taught me, that goodness, pure and single, can be an attribute of man. It was a sight for angels to congregate to behold, to view him lead, govern, and solace, the last days of the human race.

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) Mary Shelley Mary Shelley was born in London in 1797, the daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, two radical writers. Her mother died when she was only ten days old. In 1816 she married Percy Bysshe Shelley, then unknown, and they lived in Italy until Shelley's death in 1822. The idea for Frankenstein came to her when she was staying on Lake Geneva in 1816 but was not published for two years. She wrote several other novels and contributed to the Westminster Review. She died in February 1851." It is quite difficult to believe that a young girl of 18 years old would be the author of a book that would become the first monster film, creation film, bionic film, horror film, publicly banned film, and the first of many Frankenstein films. But we must give this young girl credit for her literary talent and active imagination. Mary Shelley is responsible for many fine literary works of art but none are as famous as Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus published in 1818. The tale Shelley tells is of a young Dr. Frankenstein who tries to create a living being but instead creates a monster. There are many interesting theories on the reasons why Shelley wrote Frankenstein. The book was started while vacationing at Lake Geneva with her husband Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidari. Lord Byron challenged the group to write a ghost story. Mary was slow to come up with an idea for her story but after she had the following "waking" nightmare she began to write the famous Frankenstein novel that would take her almost 2 years to publish:

Frankenstein BIOGRAPHY Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was a novelist, biographer, and editor who most people know as the writer of the very famous tale Frankenstein (1818). Mary Shelley was only 21 years old when the book was published! Mary was born on August 30, 1797, in London into a family of intellectuals and writers. Her mother was Mary Wollstonecraft, a well-known feminist theoretician and the author of a controversial work called A Vindication of the Rights of Woman *In her childhood Mary was left to educate herself amongst her father's intellectual circle. She published her first poem at the age of ten; at the age of 16, she ran away to France and Switzerland with the poet Percy Shelley. They married in 1816, after Shelley's first wife had committed suicide by drowning. Their first child, a daughter, died in Venice, Italy, a few years later. In the History of Six Weeks' Tour (1817) the Shelleys jointly recorded their life. Thereafter they returned to England and Mary gave birth to a son, William.

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.
