Selected Mary Shelley

Deep dive into internationally renowned Romantic novelist and author of 'Frankenstein', Mary Shelley's collection. Beyond the Gothic novel and sci-fi tale of Victor Frankenstein, the gifted scientist who succeeds in giving life to a being of his own creation, this selection features her breath-taking works 'Falkner', 'Mathilda', 'Valperga', and 'The Last Man'. Dealing with themes such as suicide in the face of romantic love, incest, death, and a dystopian plague pandemic, Shelley's stories urge readers to question and explore some of literature's - and life's - most timeless and trying themes. Transcending genres whilst providing an early expert example of the novel as we know it today, the 'Selected Mary Shelley' is a must-read for dark academia fans of 'Northanger Abbey', 'Kill Your Darlings', and Disney+'s 'Tolkien'.
