Books like The letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley by Mary Shelley


The 1910‑published, three‑volume edition of Mary Shelley’s letters contains 1,276 extant correspondence dated from October 1814—shortly after her elopement with Percy Bysshe Shelley—to September 1850, five months before her death. Curated by Betty T. Bennett, the 230‑letter volume distills the most revealing passages, providing readers with a vivid portrait of Shelley’s personal and literary world. The selected letters reveal her relationships with contemporary figures such as Byron, Bulwer‑Lytton, Disraeli, General Lafayette, Sir Walter Scott, as well as her family kin—parents William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft—and fellow writers Keats, Washington Irving, and Charles and Mary Lamb. An introductory essay contextualizes her place in 19th‑century English literature and the broader history of letters.
