Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was a British novelist and short-story writer, best known for her Gothic novel “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.” She was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin in London, England, to parents who were prominent writers and thinkers. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was a feminist philosopher and writer, while her father, William Godwin, was a political philosopher and novelist.
Shelley’s mother died when she was just 11 days old, and she was raised by her father and a stepmother. She was educated by her father, who encouraged her to read widely and to think critically. At the age of 16, she fell in love with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was married at the time. They eloped to Europe in 1814, and were ostracized by their families and society.
During this time, Mary Shelley wrote her most famous work, “Frankenstein,” which was published anonymously in 1818. The novel tells the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who creates a monster out of dead body parts. The novel is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Gothic literature, and has been adapted into numerous films and other media.
Mary Shelley went on to write other novels, including “The Last Man” and “Lodore,” as well as numerous short stories. She also edited and published her husband’s works after his death in 1822. Shelley died in London in 1851, at the age of 53.
