In Search Of Mary Shelley

Fiona Sampson Profile €13.99

Mary Shelley was only 18 years old when she began Frankenste­in, one of the most enduring of all literary archetypes. But her achievemen­ts were overshadow­ed by her famous husband and a scandalous lifestyle that drew the frowns of polite society. Sampson’s fresh and compelling biography depicts a woman attuned to the radical spirit of the age.
