Mary Shelly
“Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose – a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.”
From 1797 to 1851 Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley lived as an English novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer. She is well known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein which she famously thought up while spending the summer with Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, John Polidori, and Claire Clairmont. Frankenstein is still widely studied in literature courses around the world.
