Daughter of Earth and Water: a Biography of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
by Noel B. Gerson
hardcover in good used condition
"Daughter of Earth and Water presents a compassionate and engaging life story of Mary Shelley, daughter of philosopher William Godwin and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. Focusing on her relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley, whom she met at age fifteen and married in 1816, Gerson recounts their intense love affair, intellectual partnership, and the dramatic events surrounding the composition of Frankenstein. He highlights Mary’s remarkable resilience amid personal tragedies—suicides in both families, the deaths of her first two children, and Percy’s untimely drowning at 29—with clarity and empathy. Gerson emphasizes Mary’s growth into a self-reliant and devoted literary figure, showing how she matured emotionally and intellectually by her early twenties. He also debunks myths around Shelley’s romantic relationships and centers Mary’s authorship and loyalty."
