Praise for Mary Shelley 'The most dazzling biography of a female writer to have come my way for a decade... Here, for the first time, Shelley steps off the page as a living, thinking, suffering woman, fraught and caught in the web of her own intelligence' Financial Times 'To be savoured for its vivid and sympathetic recreation of the tragic life and brilliant times of the gifted Mary Shelley' Times Literary Supplement 'Brilliant and enthralling, this portrait illuminates Mary's life in many unexpected ways' Independent On Sunday '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 ... Miranda Seymour is a novelist as well as an experienced biographer ... She has vivid narrative gifts and a perceptive understanding of the main personalities' New York Times Notable Books, The New York Times 'I envy any reader of this excellent biography who happens not to be very familiar with the lives of Shelley and the girl who eloped with him when she was sixteen' Diana Athill, The Oldie
