Rose’s Reviews > Mary Shelley: Romance and Reality > Status Update

to be clear, this book is well researched. unfortch, it is not convincingly argued - it often feels like Sunstein is picking such small quotes that they could mean anything in any context. also, Sunstein clearly likes Mary Shelley too much and is getting real delulu with it.

“Mary deluded herself, some say, about the gratifications of her union with [Shelley], but these skeptics misunderstand...”

this is the perfect quote to describe how I feel about this book. even from the biased picture being painted, Mary Godwin Shelley seems ABSOLUTELY DELULU over her dipshit philandering husband & Sunstein has no claim on being a Mary Shelley savant, the Only Person to Understand Her

“…a dialectic that still continues between equality and ‘difference’ feminists.”
