Mary Shelley
Richard Rothwell s portrait of Mary Shelley Mary Shelley published Frankenstein on January 1, 1818 following a summer spent with Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, John William Polidori and Mary’s stepsister Claire Clairmont near Geneva. Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, grew from a short story into a novel, and was initially published without an author’s name. Shelley s success however, was short-lived as tragedy struck her family. Following Percy Bysshe s death in 1822, Mary returned to England with their son Percy. In 1849, Sir Percy Florence Shelley bought Boscombe Cottage, which had been built in 1801, and he intended to turn it into a home for his mother, but Mary died from a brain tumour in 1851.
