false 6549840 1 Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (née Godwin) (1797-1851) was an English romantic gothic novelist. She received an excellent education, which was unusual for girls at the time. She never went to school, but she was taught to read and write by Louisa Jones, and then educated in a broad range of subjects by her father, who gave her free access to his extensive library. In particular, she was encouraged to write stories, and one of these early works Mounseer Nongtongpaw was published by the Godwin Company's Juvenile Library when she was only eleven. One night, perhaps attributable to Galvani's report, Mary had a waking dream; she recounted the episode in this way: "What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow. " This nightmare served as the basis for the novel that she entitled Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). Amongst her other works are: The Last Man (1826), Proserpine and Midas (1922) and Notes to the Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley. 6742350 8 2 2008 Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (Dodo Press) total:10|5:5|4:3|3:2|2:0|1:0| 10 43 15 0 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 0 0 false Mon Nov 30 14:00:21 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 14:00:21 -0800 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 4 0 false Sat Nov 28 11:19:49 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 11:19:49 -0800 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 5 0 false Tue Nov 24 22:01:33 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 22:01:33 -0800 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 4 0 false Tue Nov 17 20:31:30 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 20:31:30 -0800 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 3 0 false Sat Oct 31 17:25:05 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 21:51:21 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 17:25:05 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 3 0 false Sun Oct 18 10:08:02 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 08:13:28 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 08:13:28 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 0 0 false Sat Sep 26 20:26:22 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 20:26:30 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 5 0 false Sun Oct 18 19:07:24 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 12:28:09 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 19:07:24 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 0 0 false Sun Sep 20 19:03:35 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 19:03:35 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 0 0 false Thu Sep 17 19:29:33 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 19:29:42 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 5 0 false Mon Sep 14 15:45:12 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 15:45:12 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 5 0 false Sun Sep 13 14:13:33 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 14:13:33 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 5 0 false Fri Sep 11 02:43:42 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 02:43:42 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 4 0 false Tue Aug 25 12:09:57 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 12:09:57 -0700 2009 6549840 1406569593 9781406569599 10 0 4.30 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6549840-frankenstein-or-the-modern-prometheus 0 0 false Fri Aug 14 05:46:34 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 05:46:34 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6549840
