"By reading Mary Shelley's pandemic novel The Last Man and gothic romance "The Invisible Girl" against the background of plague literature and international thought from ancient Greece to Covid-19, this book reveals how she shaped the classics of modern existentialism and dystopian political science fiction from H.
