This volume seeks to redress the commonly held view that Mary Shelley was simply another mouthpiece for her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, for her father, William Godwin and for the radical milieu that surrounded her. Her most challenging and ambitious novels, "Frankenstein", "Valperga", an historical novel, and "The Last Man", a futuristic novel detailing the destruction of the world's populations by plague, are examined in the light of her intellectual relationship with Percy Shelley. The reader is shown the way in which these novels reflect her gradual rejection of his radical tenets in an assertion of her own intellectual and ideological independence. Her independence is reflected in her editing of her husband's poetry. New textual analysis shows the extent of Mary Shelley's involvement in Byron's "Don Juan".
