"Mrs. Shelley" by Lucy Madox Brown Rossetti is a biographical account that likely emerged in the late 19th century, specifically in 1890. This work delves into the life of Mary Shelley, the renowned author of "Frankenstein," and examines her complex identity as both the daughter of the feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft and the wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. The book explores the societal and personal struggles that shaped Mary Shelley's formative years and creative pursuits. The opening portion of "Mrs. Shelley" provides an insightful glimpse into Mary Shelley's lineage, highlighting her parentage and early life experiences. It discusses the significant impact of her mother’s legacy and her father’s philosophical musings on her development, particularly in a context rife with social upheaval. As the narrative unfolds, we see how Mary navigates her childhood marked by loss and responsibility, setting the stage for her eventual meeting with Percy Shelley, whose presence would profoundly alter her life trajectory. The biographer skillfully sets up a richly detailed exploration of Mary Shelley's maturation amidst the tumultuous relationships and intellectual circles of her time, preparing readers for a deeper understanding of her character and works.
