Mrs. Shelley is a biography written by Lucy M. Rossetti about Mary Shelley, the author of the famous novel Frankenstein. The book delves into the life of Mary Shelley, exploring her childhood, her relationship with her famous parents, her marriage to Percy Shelley, and her writing career. It also covers the tragic events in her life, including the deaths of her children and husband, and her own struggles with illness and depression. Through extensive research, Rossetti provides a detailed and insightful portrait of Mary Shelley, shedding light on her life and work, and placing her within the context of her time. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Mary Shelley and the Romantic era.In October Claire's departure for Florence, as governess in the family of Professor Bojti, where she went by the advice of her friend Mrs. Mason, formerly Lady Mountcashell, brought an end to her permanent residence with the Shelleys, although she was still to look upon their house as her home, and she visited them either for her pleasure or to assist them. Her absence from her friends gives us the advantage of letters from them, letters full of a certain exaggeration of affection and sympathy from Shelley, who felt more acutely than Mary that Claire might be unhappy under a strange roof.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
