Autor

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was an English novelist best known for her groundbreaking work Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus. Born in 1797, she was the daughter of feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin. Shelley's literary career began in the early 19th century and she quickly became a prominent figure in the Romantic literary movement. Her works often explore themes of creation, ambition, and the human condition, reflecting her interest in science and ethics. In addition to Frankenstein, she wrote several other novels including The Last Man and Valperga or The Life and Adventures of Castruccio, Prince of Lucca. Shelley's writing is marked by deep psychological insight and complex character portrayals, especially in her depictions of women navigating patriarchal societies. Her influence extends well beyond her lifetime as her ideas and themes continue to resonate in contemporary literature and discussions about gender, power, and morality. Mary Shelley remains a significant figure in both Gothic and science fiction literature and her legacy continues to shape modern storytelling.
