Mary Shelley

About The Author

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was an English novelist who blended the genres of romance, science, and Gothic fiction in her work. Frankenstein, her most famous novel, cemented Shelley’s legacy, though it was initially published anonymously to hide her gender in hopes of her work being respected by readers of the time. Many literary historians today credit Shelley with the creation of contemporary science fiction.
