Download or read book Mary Shelley written by Catherine Reef and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This YA biography offers “a thorough, sensitive portrayal of one of literature’s most remarkable authors, illustrated with period portraits and engravings” (Kirkus). Most famous for her iconic tale of gothic horror, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley led a life that could itself have been a gothic novel. This “fascinating, scandal-rich” biography recounts a story full of drama, death, and one of the strangest romances in literary history (Booklist). Raised by her father, the political philosopher William Godwin, Shelley ran away to Lake Geneva with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley when she was only sixteen years old. It was there, during a cold and wet summer, that she first imagined her story about a mad scientist who brought a corpse back to life. Success soon followed for Mary, but also great tragedy and misfortune. In Mary Shelley, Catherine Reef brings this passionate woman, brilliant writer, and forgotten feminist into crisp focus, detailing a life that was remarkable both before and after the publication of her immortal masterpiece.
Book Synopsis Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein by : Linda Bailey
Download or read book Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein written by Linda Bailey and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring story of the girl behind one of the greatest novels -- and monsters -- ever, perfectly timed for the 200th anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein. For fans for picture book biographies such as I Dissent or She Persisted. How does a story begin? Sometimes it begins with a dream, and a dreamer. Mary is one such dreamer, a little girl who learns to read by tracing the letters on the tombstone of her famous feminist mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, and whose only escape from her strict father and overbearing stepmother is through the stories she reads and imagines. Unhappy at home, she seeks independence, and at the age of sixteen runs away with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, another dreamer. Two years later, they travel to Switzerland where they meet a famous poet, Lord Byron. On a stormy summer evening, with five young people gathered around a fire, Byron suggests a contest to see who can create the best ghost story. Mary has a waking dream about a monster come to life. A year and a half later, Mary Shelley's terrifying tale, Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus, is published -- a novel that goes on to become the most enduring monster story ever and one of the most popular legends of all time. A riveting and atmospheric picture book about the young woman who wrote one of the greatest horror novels ever written and one of the first works of science fiction, Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein is an exploration of the process of artistic inspiration that will galvanize readers and writers of all ages.
Book Synopsis In Search of Mary Shelley by : Fiona Sampson
Download or read book In Search of Mary Shelley written by Fiona Sampson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know the facts of Mary Shelley’s life in some detail—the death of her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, within days of her birth; the upbringing in the house of her father, William Godwin, in a house full of radical thinkers, poets, philosophers, and writers; her elopement, at the age of seventeen, with Percy Shelley; the years of peripatetic travel across Europe that followed. But there has been no literary biography written this century, and previous books have ignored the real person—what she actually thought and felt and why she did what she did—despite the fact that Mary and her group of second-generation Romantics were extremely interested in the psychological aspect of life.In this probing narrative, Fiona Sampson pursues Mary Shelley through her turbulent life, much as Victor Frankenstein tracked his monster across the arctic wastes. Sampson has written a book that finally answers the question of how it was that a nineteen-year-old came to write a novel so dark, mysterious, anguished, and psychologically astute that it continues to resonate two centuries later. No previous biographer has ever truly considered this question, let alone answered it.
Book Synopsis Mary Shelley Biography: The Birth of Frankenstein, Rumors and More by : Chris Dicker
Download or read book Mary Shelley Biography: The Birth of Frankenstein, Rumors and More written by Chris Dicker and published by Chris Dicker. This book was released on with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Shelley crafted the legendary story of Frankenstein as a ghost story at first. However, the main theme of Frankenstein was seeded long before that. She had this strong drive and interest for supernatural and alchemy. Both of her parents were writers, so there's no accident that she was also involved in that. Mary Shelley is one of the first science-fiction writers emerging at that time. Most of her work was influenced and inspired from her friend, husband, and poet Percy Shelley. Some of her other writings were inspired by Diodati circle. More of that in the biography. In this biography, you'll also learn who Mary was as a person: relationships, family background, childhood. How she coped with tremendous loss in the family and how that influenced her work? How Mary Shelley came up with Frankenstein's story and why she published it anonymously at first? What about the other editions and revisions of Frankenstein? Mary Shelley was truly delighted that Frankenstein inspired others to create. She attended performances, plays and productions based on her story and frankly she was quite amused by that fact. Back then it was possible to present a play of the book without the author's permission or entitlement. This made Frankenstein such a success.

Book Synopsis Strange Creatures by : Catherine Wells
Download or read book Strange Creatures written by Catherine Wells and published by Morgan Reynolds Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only child of two famous and radical writers, Mary Shelley (née Godwin) was born with huge expectations already upon her. She grew up surrounded by writers and intellectuals who not only praised her beauty, but made clear that great things were expected from someone with such an intellectual pedigree. Mary was soon caught up, though, in a passionate love affair with young poet Percy Shelley. They traveled through Europe together to get away from Mary's father and Percy's wife, and while visiting the notorious poet Lord Byron, a challenge to write a ghost story was made. This challenge prompted Mary to conceive of Frankenstein, a horrifying tale of a man who creates a monster by reanimating dead flesh. The novel brought Mary fame and notoriety, and changed the course of literature, creating a terrifying figure that still intrigues readers today. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: “Both timely and terrifying.” —Gregory Macguire, New York Times–bestselling author of Wicked Pairing free verse with over three hundred pages of black-and-white watercolor illustrations, Mary’s Monster is a unique and stunning biography of Mary Shelley, the pregnant teenage runaway who became one of the greatest authors of all time. Legend is correct that Mary Shelley began penning Frankenstein in answer to a dare to write a ghost story. What most people don't know, however, is that the seeds of her novel had been planted long before that night. By age nineteen, she had been disowned by her family, was living in scandal with a married man, and had lost her baby daughter just days after her birth. Mary poured her grief, pain, and passion into the powerful book still revered two hundred years later, and in Mary's Monster, author/illustrator Lita Judge has poured her own passion into a gorgeous book that pays tribute to the life of this incredible author.
