Thomas The Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Volume 1 (of 2) E-text prepared by the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries (http://www.archive.org/details/toronto) "The Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Mrs. Julian Marshall is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life of Mary Shelley, famed author of "Frankenstein," and explores her familial background, including her parents William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, as well as her tumultuous relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Offering insights into her upbringing and intellectual development, the book aims to position Mary Shelley as an influential figure in her own right, separate from her husband's overshadowing legacy. The opening of the biography introduces the beginnings of Mary's life, focusing on her unique parentage—her mother being a pioneering feminist and her father a philosophical writer. It discusses the impact of her mother's death shortly after Mary's birth, leaving her in the care of a father who is both brilliant and unprepared for parenting. The narrative hints at the eventual conflicts and challenges Mary will face, including her evolving relationship with William Godwin’s second wife and her interactions with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Interspersed with reflections on her character and emerging intellect, the beginning lays a foundation for understanding how these early experiences shaped Mary into the profound literary figure she would later become.
