Mary Shelley, born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin on August 30, 1797, was an iconic English writer who left a profound impact on literature with works infused with elements of Gothic horror and Romanticism. She was the daughter of two intellectual heavyweights: feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin. Orphaned by her mother within days of her birth, Shelley was brought up in a stimulating but often challenging household. Her education was informal yet comprehensive, honed by her father's extensive library and literary circles. Shelley's magnum opus, 'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus' (1818), revolutionized the genre of science fiction, imbuing it with philosophical and ethical inquiries into the nature of creation and humanity. This seminal work is featured in 'The Collected Works of Mary Shelley (Illustrated Edition)', which showcases her narrative prowess and the breadth of her imagination. Her literary style often grappled with the tumultuous and introspective facets of human experience, and she demonstrated a remarkable ability to infuse her works with atmospheric detail and complexity, reflective of her personal adversities and the revolutionary spirit of her time. Despite facing the early loss of her mother, the death of her husband, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and societal disapproval, Mary Shelley carved her distinctive path as a writer, leaving an indelible legacy on literature and the Gothic tradition.
