Full Description
An extraordinary wealth of new work by established and young scholars on both sides of the Atlantic emerged during Mary Shelley's recent bicentenary year. Michael Eberle-Sinatra has made a representative selection, focusing on current issues and theoretical approaches, and treating Shelley's earlier fiction as inseparable from her neglected later fiction of the 1830s. With this collection, studies of this newly canonised Romantic period author enter a 'post-"Beyond- Frankenstein" ' era.
