They are both responsible for opening up new possibilities for women in genres traditionally dominated by men. This volume brings together essays on Wollstonecraft's and Shelley's life writing by some of the most prominent scholars in Canada, Australia, and the United States. It also includes a full-length play by award-winning Canadian playwright Rose Scollard. Together, the essays and the play explore the connections between mother and daughter, between writing and life, and between criticism and creation. They offer a new understanding of two important writers, of a literary period, and of emergent modes of life writing. Essayists include Judith Barbour, Betty T. Bennett, Anne K. Mellor, Charles E. Robinson, Eleanor Ty, and Lisa Vargo. Among the works discussed are Wollstonecraft’s 'Vindication', 'Letters from Norway', and 'Maria; or, The Wrongs of Woman'; William Godwin's 'Memoirs of Wollstonecraft'; and Shelley's 'Frankenstein', 'The Last Man', 'Ladore', and 'Rambles in Germany and Italy'. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature 676 $a828/.609 701 $aBuss$b Helen M$0865803 701 $aMacdonald$b David Lorne$f1955-2010.$082990 701 $aMcWhir$b Anne$f1947-$0958980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454367603321 996 $aMary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley$92172685 997 $aUNINA
