But she went on to survive all manner of upheaval - personal, political, and professional - and to produce an oeuvre of bracing intelligence and wide cultural sweep. The Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley helps readers to assess for themselves her remarkable body of work. In clear, accessible essays, a distinguished group of scholars place Shelley's works in several historical and aesthetic contexts: literary history, the legacies of her parents William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, and of course the life and afterlife, in cinema, robotics and hypertext, of Frankenstein. Other topics covered include Mary Shelley as a biographer and cultural critic, as the first editor of Percy Shelley's works, and as travel writer. This invaluable volume is complemented by a chronology, a guide to further reading and a select filmography. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a823/.7 702 $aSchor$b Esther H. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996218146203316 996 $aCambridge companion to Mary Shelley$91234554 997 $aUNISA
