Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) var en britisk forfatter, der mest er kendt for sin klassiske gyser- og science fictionroman Frankenstein. Eller den moderne Prometeus, der udkom anonymt i 1818. Shelley blev født i London som datter af filosoffen William Godwin og forfatteren og feministen Mary Wollstonecraft. Som 17-årig stak hun af hjemmefra sammen med digteren P.B. Shelley, som hun siden giftede sig med. Hun fulgte ham til Italien men vendte efter hans død tilbage til England. Frankenstein, der i første omgang blev skrevet som en spøg på en ferie med bl.a. forfatterne Lord Byron og John William Polidori, var Shelleys første roman. Hendes anden roman, Matilda, udkommer for første gang på dansk i 2024. Ud over romaner skrev Mary Shelley også noveller, biografier og rejsebøger og varetog desuden udgivelsen af sin mands digte og efterladte papirer.
