Description
What is best and most compelling about Mary Shelley in Her Times is the freshness of the perspectives articulated in the essays, the breadth of the material considered, the clarity and energy of the writing itself, and the overall impressiveness of the underlying scholarship. The quality of the work assembled here speaks very well indeed for the future of Romantics scholarship. -- Stephen C. Behrendt, University of Nebraska

A valuable piece of criticism. -- Ashley Chantler Byron Journal Refreshing, alternative readings to the until now predominantly psychobiographical approach...
