Mary Shelley was an English novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer. Shelly was best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus.
She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Mary Godwin's mother died when she was eleven days old; afterwards, she and her older half-sister, Fanny Imlay, were raised by her father.
In 1814, Mary began a relationship with one of her father’s political followers, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Together with Mary's stepsister, Claire Clairmont, they left for France and traveled through Europe; upon their return to England, Mary was pregnant with Percy's child. Over the next two years, she and Percy faced ostracism, constant debt, and the death of their prematurely born daughter. They married in late 1816 after the suicide of Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet.
