- About the Contributor(s):
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was an English novelist who, at the age of 19, wrote the Gothic horror novel Frankenstein, which not only inspired generations of writers toward the dark and macabre but also is considered by many the prototypical science fiction novel. Shelley was born in London to philosopher William Godwin and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who died shortly after Shelley's birth. Raised by her father, she was well educated and deeply versed in Godwin's anarchist political notions. She married Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of her father's political followers, in 1816. It was during a trip to Geneva, Switzerland, with her husband and Lord Byron that she famously conceived the idea for Frankenstein, the result of a competition to write the best horror story. After her husband drowned in a sailing accident, Shelley returned to England to devote herself to raising their only surviving child and writing professionally. Along with Frankenstein, Shelley authored the novels Valperga, Perkin Warbeck, The Last Man, Lodore, and Falkner, as well as travelogues, short stories, and children's literature.
