Mary Shelley. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (nÃ©e Godwin; 30 August 1797 â 1 February 1851) was an English novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818).
Mary Wollstonecraft, 1759-1797, novelist and radical polemicist for the inherent rights of woman and of man, was the first wife of William Godwin and the mother of Mary Shelley. She died from complications in her daughter's birth. Although Mary Shelley never knew her mother, she held her in the deepest veneration. There was probably no better student of Mary Wollstonecraft's writings than she, for she read them again and again and, when she traveled to Italy in 1818, seems to have carried something close to a complete set for reference.
