Mary Shelley by Richard Rothwell
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was an English author of gothic fiction and horror novels. In addition to being a novelist, she was also a short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, travel writer, and editor for her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Mary was the daughter of William Godwin, a political philosopher, and writer/philosopher/feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. She is best known for her novel Frankenstein, but her success was by no means limited to it, as demonstrated in Emily Sunstein’s biography, Mary Shelley: Romance and Reality.

Mary Shelley’s first novel was entitled Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus, originally released in 1818 in three volumes. Much of her work has been published and re-published posthumously. Below is a list of Mary Shelley’s books in order of when they were originally published:
