"Mathilda" is a novella written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the English author best known for her iconic work, "Frankenstein." "Mathilda" was composed in 1819-1820 but was not published during Shelley's lifetime. It remained largely unknown until it was discovered and published posthumously in the mid-20th century. The novella tells the story of Mathilda, a young woman who recounts her tragic life experiences through a series of letters and narratives. Mathilda's life is marked by sorrow and isolation, stemming from her complicated relationship with her father. The story explores themes of love, guilt, and the consequences of forbidden desires. "Mathilda" is a departure from Shelley's more famous work, "Frankenstein," as it is a dark and introspective tale that delves into the psychological and emotional struggles of its protagonist. It is often considered a Gothic novella due to its melancholic and emotionally charged narrative. While "Mathilda" is not as widely read as "Frankenstein," it offers readers a glimpse into Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's talent for exploring the complexities of human nature and emotions. The novella is a poignant and introspective work that continues to be studied and appreciated for its literary merit and its contribution to the Gothic genre.
Tales and Stories Now First Collected, a classical book, has been considered essential throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we at Alpha Editions have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.
Completely annotated and provided with maps, essays, and chilling illustrations, this unique edition of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" answers some of readers' most lingering questions, clarifies historical references, and probes into the sensitive biographical nature of Mary Shelley's landmark novel. One of the most influential masterpieces of horror in the English language, "Frankenstein" straddles science fiction, horror, romance, the weird tale, and the literary allegory. Aside from the monomaniacal student of dark arts, the pensive bride throttled in her uncreased wedding bed, and the dramatic landscapes of Arctic ice fields and alpine vistas, Frankenstein is the story of poor stewardship, failed fatherhood, lost innocence, painful alienation, social rejection, the entangled relationship between adoring love and septic hatred, and the unfairness of a world which evicts a warm, gentle, curious, and eager spirit based on the casing of its skin. It raises relevant questions of technology, scientific responsibility, racism, sexism, community, environmentalism, progressivism, tolerance, diversity, love, and social responsibility, all wrapped in a psychologically complex, chilling narrative of grave robbing, playing god, murder, necrophilia, sublimated sexuality, and existential horror.
