Selected Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Rating:
Summary: In Depth Study of a Classic Author
Review: This book provides a fascinating look into the life of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly. By reading actual letters written by Mary, to various important people in her life, you gain access to what her life outside the realm of literary circles was like. The author of this book adds interesting conjecture as to what the content of the letters means when clarity is needed or when certain facts aren't available. If you are interested in Mary's life & are looking for more than just a biography, "Selected Letters of" has much to offer. One star demerit for too little information from the time of her visit to Lord Byron at Lake Geneva in the Summer of 1816. Maybe there are fewer letters available from that time. But that's the time frame I am most interested in.
