    – Times Literary Supplement

    ‘Brilliant and enthralling, this portrait illuminates Mary’s life in many unexpected ways.’

    ‘A wonderfully vivid, human and learned portrait of the woman who created Frankenstein, married Shelley, and, amazingly, survived.’

    – Spectator

    'Mary Shelley, Miranda Seymour’s affectionate and well-written biography, concisely sketches the background of scientific inquiry that influenced Shelley’s early intellectual development… Seymour keenly brings out how fraught Mary Shelley’s own life was with tragedies
