Mary Shelley: Frankenstein's Monster & The Last Romantic

Author of the gothic horror Frankenstein, Mary Shelley had massive influence in the sci-fi, gothic, and Romantic-era genres. From largely creating the sympathetic trope of the thinking, feeling monster in Frankenstein to effectively conveying the complexities of the feminine social role in late Georgian-period England with Falkner, Lodore, and Mathilda, Shelley lived to be one of the last Romantic writers producing rich and imaginative stories well past the peak of Romanticism.
