عن المؤلف
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was an English writer whose name is indelibly linked with her seminal novel ‘Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus’ (1818), a linchpin of gothic literature and a pioneering work in the science fiction genre. Shelley was the daughter of philosopher William Godwin and noted feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. Her literary career began in the shadow of these intellectual heavyweights and amid the Romantic circle that included her future husband, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. The conception of her most famous work occurred on a summer’s night in 1816 at Lord Byron’s villa near Lake Geneva, where a challenge to write a horror story heralded the birth of science fiction. Beyond ‘Frankenstein’, Shelley’s corpus includes ‘The Last Man’ (1826), which explores the theme of a future world ravaged by a pandemic, showcasing an enduring fascination with apocalyptic visions. Her ‘MARY SHELLEY Premium Collection’ showcases an oeuvre that spans novels, short stories, travel writings, and dramatic works, as well as a posthumously published biography. Shelley’s style is marked by an acute sensitivity to human suffering, meticulous exploration of sociopolitical themes, and profound philosophical inquiry. Her works resonate with a deep understanding of tragedy, informed in part by her own life experiences, including the early death of her mother and the loss of her children. Mary Shelley remains a pivotal figure in literary history, and her works continue to inspire readers and evoke scholarly discourse on the implications of scientific endeavor and the human condition.
