About This Item
London: John Murray, 2000 0719557119. First edition. Hardback. No annotations or inscriptions. 655 pp plus 32pp b/w plates and lengthy index. Slight bumping of two corners but otherwise a fine copy. No DW. Biography of the English author, essayist & travel writer Mary Shelley [ 1797 - 1851 ] who is famed for, at the age of 18, having created the story of Frankenstein's monster on a stormy night whilst talking horror with Byron, Polidori, Percy Bysshe Shelley & Claire Clairmont. This is a heavy volume which will require extra postage. "Mary Shelley's own life was as passionate and dramatic as her fiction. Drawing on unexplored sources, this biography presents a picture of a woman misunderstood, intense, loyal, generous; a woman possessed of a dark and brilliant imagination which gave the public a myth for her time and for today." .
