Threapleton, Mary (Edited with an Introduction & Notes Shelley 51,310 (58,099) | 1,014 | 249 | (3.82) | 76 | 0 | Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born in England on August 30, 1797. Her parents were two celebrated liberal thinkers, William Godwin, a social philosopher, and Mary Wollstonecraft, a women's rights advocate. Eleven days after Mary's birth, her mother died of puerperal fever. Four motherless years later, Godwin married Mary Jane Clairmont, bringing her and her two children into the same household with Mary and her half-sister, Fanny. Mary's idolization of her father, his detached and rational treatment of their bond, and her step-mother's preference for her own children created a tense and awkward home. Mary's education and free-thinking were encouraged, so it should not surprise us today that at the age of sixteen she ran off with the brilliant, nineteen-year old and unhappily married Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shelley became her ideal, but their life together was a difficult one. Traumas plagued them: Shelley's wife and Mary's half-sister both committed suicide; Mary and Shelley wed shortly after he was widowed but social disapproval forced them from England; three of their children died in infancy or childhood; and while Shelley was an aristocrat and a genius, he was also moody and had little money. Mary conceived of her magnum opus, Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, when she was only nineteen when Lord Byron suggested they tell ghost stories at a house party. The resulting book took over two years to write and can be seen as the brilliant creation of a powerful but tormented mind. The story of Frankenstein has endured nearly two centuries and countless variations because of its timeless exploration of the tension between our quest for knowledge and our thirst for good. Shelley drowned when Mary was only 24, leaving her with an infant and debts. She died from a brain tumor on February 1, 1851 at the age of 54.

Mary Shelley a 13 évènements passés. (show) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Anatomy of a Masterpiece Community Lecture Series: A presentation by Lance Rhoades Hosted by Mid-Columbia Libraries ** Rescheduled from November due to inclement weather.Who controls life and death? Does a man-made being have (human) rights issues? Although regarded as Gothic sensationalism when first published – both for its lurid tale of a scientist driven mad by his obsession to animate the dead and for the surprising news that the author was nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley – Frankenstein has resonated widely in the popular imagination, most notably in theatre and cinema. Over the two centuries since its publication, the work has also served as a vivid allegory in debates about technology, slavery, and universal suffrage. Led by scholar Lance Rhoades, this multi-media presentation considers how Shelley addressed some of mankind’s greatest concerns with a creation that took on a life of its own. Explore and discuss these complicated and complex issues. (Lyndatrue)… (plus d'informations)

| Agents | | Courte biographie | Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley est née à Londre, fille de deux intellectuels et écrivains anglais majeurs, Mary Wollstonecraft et son mari William Godwin. Elle tomba en amour avec Percy Bisshe Shelley, un homme marié et père, et scandalisa la société en s'enfuyant avec lui en 1814. Deux ans plus tard, ils étaient mariés et en 1818, elle publia son oeuvre la plus célèbre, son premier roman: Frankenstein ou le Prometheus Moderne. Elle écriva aussi plusieurs autres romans, incluant Valperga (1823) et le Dernier Homme (1826), en plus de plusieurs nouvelles, histoires courtes, poèmes, pièces de théâtre, essais et articles pour les périodiques de l'époque, livres de voyage, et une biographie de son mari. Au moment de la mort de Shelley en 1822, elle était vue comme une nouvelliste majeure mariée à un poète de petite envergure, bien qu'elle passa 30 ans à promouvoir son travail à lui afin de lui permettre d'atteindre une renom à l'épreuve du temps.  | |
