Artifacts of My Life

 

This was the original cover art of my book Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus. It is quite nice to see the art my work inspired. http://www.xula.edu/library/temp/frankenstein.php

 

This is my husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley! He looks quite handsome in this picture.

This is a picture of me as a young woman, writing as I gaze coquettishly at the portrait painter.

I was inspired in writing Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus by this painting! It depicts a monstrous figure crouched over a woman swooning in what seems to be ecstasy. This is a well known Gothic painting.

This is a picture of my father, William Godwin. He was an philosopher; it seems as if my mother and him fell for each others' brainpower, shall I say.

Ah, here is yet another picture of me, giving a half smile to the painter.

This happens to be a recent picture of my home in Knightsbridge in London. I must say, I was born and bred with English blood in my veins!

This is my stepsister, Fanny Imlay. She had a modest and quiet disposition, unlike me. I regret to say that she was an illegitimate child.

This seems to be a rather modern adaptation of my book Frankenstein. This would be the main character. I say they did a rather good job!

This is a picture of my dearly departed mother, Mary Wollstonecraft. Unfortunately, she died not long after I was born. I did not get to meet her.
