Also published as The Beautiful Widow, Mary Shelley’s penultimate
novel explores the web of relationships between three women bound
together by the exacting Lord Lodore: Cornelia, Lodore’s estranged
wife, ruled by her mother and the norms of aristocratic society;
Ethel, his daughter, raised in the wilderness of Illinois and utterly
reliant on her father; and finally, the independent and highly
educated Fanny Derham, the daughter of Lodore’s childhood friend.
Long considered the most Austen-like and socially oriented of Mary
Shelley’s novels, Lodore is an essential read for anyone seeking to
understand this brilliant feminist writer.
