Graham Allen provides both an introduction to and review of the critical responses to Mary Shelley's major fictions, from the Romantic period to the present day, while also pushing debates forward. The book moves beyond Frankenstein, presenting new readings of other texts such as Matilda, Valperga, The Last Man and Lodore.

'One of the best books written on Mary Shelley over the last decade. Graham Allen makes a very sound and thought-provoking argument for re-reading Shelley's entire fictional corpus.' - Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Universite de Montreal, Canada
