Critical Essays on Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

The 13 essays pivot of course on Shelley’s best known work Or the Modern Prometheus , which has been continuously in print since its first publication in 1818 and has spawned a new movie almost every year since 1910. Three were written for the collection; most of the rest were published in the 1980s and 1990s. They include such perspectives as a feminist critique of science, the woman writer’s fate, and the novel’s impact on literature and cinema. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
