Autorenporträt

MARY SHELLEY was born in 1797, the daughter of the early feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft and the novelist and radical philosopher William Godwin. Married to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, she was at the center of the British Romantic movement of the early 19th century, author of the classic novel Frankenstein (1818), often considered the first example of the science fiction genre. After her husband's death in 1822, she went on to a long career as a novelist, biographer, and travel writer. Among her many works is The Last Man (1826), an uncannily prescient novel set in the late 21st century amidst a time of plague and climatic catastrophe. She died in 1851.
