Items related to Mary Shelley
Fiction's most famous monster was the creation of a nineteen-year-old woman, Mary Shelley. Although she was the daughter of famous parents and the wife of a gifted poet, she made her mark on history with the story of a scientist who breathes life into a creature stitched together from corpses. She was also the author of the remarkable futuristic allegory, THE LAST MAN. In Muriel Spark's brilliant investigation of Mary Shelley's life and work, biographer and subject are perfectly matched. As Hilary Spurling has written, 'Both are dry, clear and forthright to the point of bluntness, cool and sharp as a mint julep, with something of the same afterkick'.
