Frontispiece illustration to 1831 edition of Frankenstein. When Mary Shelley composed Frankenstein, she was influenced by several literary classics she had read with her future husband Percy. She references these works in Frankenstein, among them Ovid's Metamorphoses and John Milton's Paradise Lost.
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.
