On the surface, it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting dread. On a more profound level, it illuminates the triumph and tragedy of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a creature tortured by the solitude of a world in which he does not belong. A novel of almost hallucinatory intensity, Mary Shelley's\u003ci\u003e Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWith an Introduction by Douglas Clegg\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e And an Afterword by Harold Bloom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in London, \u003cb\u003eMary Wollstonecraft Shelley\u003c\/b\u003e (1797-51) was the daughter of William Godwin, a noted social theorist, and Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the leading literary women of the day. Her mother died soon after her birth, and Mary was raised first under the care of servants, then by a stepmother, and finally in the rarefied intellectual atmosphere of her father's circle. In May 1814, she met Percy Bysshe Shelley and, in July of the year, moved with him to the Continent. Two years later, after the death of Shelley's wife, the poet and Mary were able to wed. It was in Switzerland in 1816, as a result of a story-writing competition among the Shelleys and Lord Byron, that Mary began \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, her first and most famous novel. Published in 1818, it was followed by such works as \u003ci\u003eValperga\u003c\/i\u003e (1823), \u003ci\u003eThe Last Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1826), and \u003ci\u003eFalkner\u003c\/i\u003e (1837). In 1822, after the death of her husband, she devoted herself to the upbringing of her son and the securing of his right to the Shelley family title. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eDouglas Clegg\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of more than twenty-five books, including \u003ci\u003eNeverland, Isis\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e The Vampyricon\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy.
