While she was best known for Frankenstein, Mary Shelley lived a deeply fascinating life - she was raised with a radical, intellectual education, engaged in feminist activism throughout her life, and pushed through tragedy, with the loss of her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley at a young age (and three of their children). And she was also a prolific writer and editor to boot. We dive into her life and work in this episode of Bibliography, and then in Footnotes, discuss adaptations and biopics.
