A Mary Shelley Encyclopedia

Info: Hardcover: 560 pages Publisher: Greenwood Press (June 30, 2003) Language: English ISBN-10: 031330159X ISBN-13: 978-0313301599 From Booklist Mary Shelley is famous as, first, the author of Frankenstein and, second, as the wife of a famous poet and daughter of a famous novelist and philosopher. Due in no small part to Frankenstein's place on high-school and college reading lists, her other works have been reprinted in recent years. This has resulted in a reassessment and an emergence of Shelley from the shadows of her great work and her family. Exploring these other works leaves one with a sense of an incredible life story and intellect that Frankenstein barely revealed. This encyclopedia provides readers of Shelley's works with a context--it offers information on her family, friends, residences, and more, as well as entries on her works, characters, influences, and themes. It boasts in the introduction of containing "textual footnotes to nearly all aspects of Shelley and her works." For example, the entry Prometheus mentions the Greek mythological figure but also the uses the myth was put to by Percy Bysshe Shelley (in, for example, Prometheus Unbound, 1820) and the reinvention of the myth by Mary in her most famous novel (subtitled or, The Modern Prometheus). The entries are the short type one expects of an encyclopedia, fully cross-referenced (in bold type) and factual. The design is somewhat confusing, especially in entries where there is a lot of cross-referencing; also, one is left wondering about the need for the two appendixes of quotes used by Shelley. The comprehensive bibliography of works referenced in the encyclopedia entries makes for a very useful glimpse of Shelley, her works, the influences, and scholarship. This volume is recommended for academic and large public libraries. RBB Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Review “ary Shelley merits recent renewed attention exemplified by the publication of this first reference guide to her life and literary work....Thorough citations and annotations to references in Shelley's individual works recommend this handbook to literary scholars. Two appendixes list quotations: those that Shelley attributes to their authors and those that are unidentified. An extensive bibliography and index enhance the book's utility. Recommended. Academic and large public libraries.”–Choice “n exhaustively comprehensive A-to-Z listing of all subjects that refer to Mary Shelley's life and work....will be of most use to scholars, especially since Shelley studies now concentrate on the author's less-known works.”–Library Journal “ worthy addition to a reference collection on the period of romantic literature and thinking. Since its focus is on Mary Shelley, the most famous woman of romanticism, the entries on the broader issues of that period's history, politics and literature are excellent.”–Reference Reviews
