After the publication of "Frankenstein," Mary Shelley continued to navigate a life marked by personal tragedy and literary accomplishment. She faced the deaths of several loved ones, including her husband Percy Shelley in 1822. Despite these losses, Mary persisted in her writing career, producing novels, essays, and biographies. She also devoted herself to preserving Percy Shelley's literary legacy. Throughout her later years, Mary Shelley maintained her status as a respected literary figure, though she faced financial difficulties. Her legacy endures not only through "Frankenstein" but also through her other works, which continue to be studied and celebrated for their exploration of complex themes and human nature.
