Mary Shelley

This indispensable guide to the major fictional works of Mary Shelley moves beyond viewing the interpretations and reception of her writing in terms of her life and the lives of those within her circle. Graham Allen presents both an introduction to and review of the critical responses to Shelley's work, from the Romantic period to the present day, while also asking provocative questions and pushing debates forward.

GRAHAM ALLEN is Senior Lecturer in Modern English, University College Cork, Ireland. He teaches a wide range of courses on Romantic Literature. He is the author of widely used Intertextuality (Routledge Critical Idiom) and Roland Barthes (Routledge Critical Thinkers).
