Until now, however, there has been no anthology of Shelley's work. \u003cem\u003eThe Mary Shelley Reader\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique new collection that fills this gap. In addition to the original and complete 1818 version of her masterpiece \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e, the book offers a new text of the novella \u003cem\u003eMathilda\u003c\/em\u003e--an extraordinary tale of incest, guilt, and atonement that was not published until 1959 and has been out of print since then. Also included are seven short stories that range from gentle satire to fantastic tales of reanimation, diabolical transformation, and immortality. Eight essays and reviews are reprinted here for the first time since their original publication, and eleven representative letters help bring to life a remarkable literary and historical figure--author, daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, and wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley. An illuminating introduction, a chronology, explanatory notes, and a bibliography make \u003cem\u003eThe Mary Shelley Reader\u003c\/em\u003e indispensable for readers of English Romantic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615155896471,"sku":"9780195062595","price":14914.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195062595.webp?v=1775098418","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-mary-shelley-reader-9780195062595","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
