It is June 16\, 1848\, and you have travel ed to London and are seated in the parlor of 24 Chester Square\, where you await the lady of the house- fifty-year-old Mary Godwin Shelley.

\n

​Mary Shelley was the daughter of social revolutionaries William Go dwin and Mary Wollstonecraft\, wife of romantic poet Percy Shelly\, and mo ther of Frankenstein and his monster. But beneath the sweeping romantic ta le of love unbound by societal convention and a life of travel\, is the tr uth of the life of Mary Shelley\; abandoned\, disowned\, and betrayed\, wo unded by the deaths of husband and children\, she was besieged by creditor s and so-called friends.

\n

We call on Mary Shelley in the spring of 1848. Mary is financially secure at last\, her most recent book has been w ell received\, and her only living son is on the verge of marriage.
