published scholarship on this topic.

The importance of Mary Shelley as a woman writer during the Romantic period
has been firmly established over the last two decades. In confirming her

drama, poetry, and literary biography. This collection will seek to
continue this effort by including papers discussing Shelley's importance to
the Romantic period, hopefully discussing both her better known and her
lesser known works, and exploring the complex relationship between her
works and the writings of her contemporaries--as well as her relationships
