Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley: The Eternal Dream is an expressively illustrated fictional account of the life of writer Mary Shelley, as told by her famous invention, Frankenstein's monster. With cameos by a variety of other famous writers and historical figures, this graphic novel is perfect for fans of literary and feminist history.
The extraordinary life of the woman who created one of fiction's most enduring characters: Frankenstein's monster. Born at the turn of the 19th century to the famous philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft (forerunner of the feminist movement) and William Godwin (novelist and radical politician), Mary Shelley lived a life in constant flight from social conformity.
Her struggle birthed a pop culture phenomenon. Now in print for the first time in English, Mary Shelley: The Eternal Dream chronicles Shelley's relationships with other important artists and writers, including her eventual husband Percy Shelley, and the "butterfly effect" of love, hardship, tragedy, and inspiration that led to the creation of the infamous monster.
