Mary Shelley (30 August, 1787 – 1 February, 1851) was an English author who is mostly known for her novel, Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus – a classic.
At first Frankenstein was published anonymously (1818) to scathing reviews (“a tissue of horrible and disgusting absurdity”). A play in 1823 made the story popular and the book appeared in print again (1831), but with significant changes including crediting Mary Shelley with the authorship.
