Selected Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley ....The letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley reveal a remarkable woman living in a remarkable age. They date from October 1814 -- shortly after her elopement with Percy

 Bysshe Shelley -- through September 1850, five months before her death. Her correspondents' names are familiar -- Shelley himself, Byron, Bulwer-Lytton, Disraeli, General Lafayette, Sir Walter Scott -- and the letters abound with anecdotes about such eminent figures as her parents (William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft), Keats, Washington Irving, and Charles and Mary Lamb.Publication of the widely acclaimed, three-volume edition of Mary Shelley's letters was completed in 1988, containing all 1,276 of her known extant letters. Now Betty T. Bennett has selected 230 of those letters to give an overview of Mary Shelley's life as she was seeing it, living it, and recording it. Bennett also includes an introductory essay that sketches a portrait of Mary Shelley, her world, and her place in the history of literature and letters.
