It was on a dreary night in November,That I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety thatalmost amounted to agony, ICollected the instruments of life around me-How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or howDelineate the wretch whom with such infinitePains and care I had endeavoured to form? FRANKENSTEIN or THE MODERN PROMETHEUS by Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley is considered a masterpiece of gothic horror and science fiction. The novel was first published in London in 1818, and it adeptly illustrates, with a resounding magnitude, the ideas and visions of the Romantic Movement as realized by the poets Percy Shelley and George Gordon Lord Byron. Melding the surreal and the real, the conscious and the subconscious, the nightmare and the dream, Mary Shelley, guided by the literary ambitions of her husband Percy, the philosophical legacy of her father William Godwin and the ghost of her feminist mother Mary Wollstonecraft, gives us Victor Frankenstein, a hero reminiscent of Ahab, in dark pursuit of the hideous progeny which is also his alter-ego, the Monster. In the end, FRANKENSTEIN is a tale of madness and longing, the bonds of parent and child, friends and lovers. It is one of literature's greatest psychological stories in its ability to capture human insight and desire, and the depths to which that desire might lead us. Mary Shelley's greatest novel is, ultimately, an undisputed classic for all ages.

""Proserpine and Midas"" is a collection of two poems written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the renowned author of ""Frankenstein"". The first poem, ""Proserpine"", is a retelling of the Greek myth of the abduction of the goddess Proserpine by Pluto, the god of the underworld. Shelley presents a feminist interpretation of the myth, exploring themes of power, control, and agency.The second poem, ""Midas"", is a retelling of the Greek myth of King Midas, who was granted the power to turn everything he touched into gold. Shelley explores the consequences of Midas' greed and the toll it takes on his relationships and his own happiness.Both poems showcase Shelley's mastery of language and her ability to weave together intricate narratives with vivid imagery. ""Proserpine and Midas"" is a must-read for fans of Shelley's work and for anyone interested in classical mythology and feminist literature.Pros.

Sometimes it is said that the great writers examine the world around them and then write about what they see in it. Surely this is true of Mary Shelley -- was true of her even at age nineteen. She made order out of chaos, and found parents where there were none.The book charts a young woman's education under a tyrannical father figure. As a six-year-old orphan, Elizabeth Raby prevents Rupert Falkner from committing suicide; Falkner then adopts her and brings her up to be a model of virtue. However, she falls in love with Gerald Neville, whose mother Falkner had unintentionally driven to her death years before. When Falkner is finally acquitted of murdering Neville's mother, Elizabeth's female values subdue the destructive impulses of the two men she loves, who are reconciled and unite with Elizabeth in domestic harmony.
