Mary Shelley (1797-1851) leidde een tragisch leven, met het verlies van drie kinderen en een man (de dichter Percy Bysshe Shelley) die op dertigjarige leeftijd verdronk. Ze beheerde diens literaire nalaten-schap, schreef meerdere biografische essays en in totaal vijf romans, waarvan Frankenstein verreweg de beroemdste is.
