Mary Shelley. Miranda Seymour. John Murray. [pound]25.00. 655 pages. ISBN 0-7195-5711-9. The author, already famous for biographies of Ottoline Morrell, Robert Graves and Henry James, here turns her attention to the wife of Percy Bsyche Shelley, the sixteen year old girl who ran away to marry the already married madcap poet.
She was, of course, far more than this and has won fame as a writer for her creation of Frankenstein without which Hollywood would be many millions poorer. This authoritative biography is based on an enormous selection of Mary Shelley's own works and on the MS diary kept by her father. The author concludes that Mary Shelley was not 'the active, enthusiastic, optimistic woman described by recent biographers' but a woman 'who struggled all her life against the unpredictable volatility of her own nature'.
