{"product_id":"9781786831736","title":"Mary Shelley","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo hundred years after its initial publication, Mary Shelley’s\u003ci\u003e Frankenstein \u003c\/i\u003eremains one of the most masterful examples of Gothic literature. In\u003ci\u003e Mary Shelley\u003c\/i\u003e, Angela Wright reappraises the significance of \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e alongside others of Shelley’s works in order to display the significance and fluctuating meanings of the Gothic style during the Romantic period. She offers fresh scholarly readings of both the 1818 and 1831 editions of \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as chapters upon the fiction that Shelley composed in between both editions and later in the 1830s.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In its broader examination of Mary Shelley’s work, this book is the first of its kind within the field of Gothic studies. Alongside sustained explorations of \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMatilda\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eValperga\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Man\u003c\/i\u003e, Wright also examines some of the shorter essays and tales that the author composed for contemporary magazines. Studying Shelley’s parental heritage, her infamous relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley, and her experiences during the summer of 1816, when she wrote \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, Wright offers a thoroughly contextualized appraisal of the author and her works that reexamines the extent to which Shelley participated in and redirected the Gothic tradition.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032501698800,"sku":"9781786831736","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786831736_p0.jpg?v=1763738402","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786831736","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
