Author: Mary Shelley

About the Author: Mary Shelley: She is the English writer who created the character “Frankenstein”, and the wife of the poet Percy Shelley. She was born in London in 1797 AD to an educated family; Her father was the writer and thinker William Godwin, and her mother was the writer Mary Wollstonecraft, who was an early advocate of women’s rights. Although Mary Shelley’s fame is based on her novel “Frankenstein”, she wrote other novels that are no less than her in terms of literary value, including: the historical novel “Valperga” and “The Last Man”. In many of these novels, she relied on her experience and knowledge of the writers and poets of her time. Mary lived in England until her death in 1851.

Lodore book pdf download By Mary Shelley

Beset by jealousy over an admirer of his wife’s, Lord Lodore has come with his daughter Ethel to the American wilderness; his wife Cornelia, meanwhile, has remained with her controlling mother in England. When he finally brings himself to attempt a return, Lodore is killed en route in a duel. Ethel does return to England, and the rest of the book tells the story of her marriage to the troubled and impoverished Villiers (whom she stands by through a variety of tribulations) and her long journey to a reconciliation with her mother. Lodore’s scope of character and of idea is matched by its narrative range and variety of setting; the novel’s highly dramatic story-line moves at different points to Italy, to Illinois, and to Niagara Falls. And in this edition, which includes a wealth of documents from the period, the reader is provided with a sense of the full context out of which Shelley’s achievement emerged.
