These three classic works by the nineteenth-century English novelist
and pioneer of Gothic literature are emblematic of the Romantic era.
Frankenstein: The legend of Victor Frankenstein and the unholy monster
he brings to life is a masterpiece of Romantic literature and one of
the most famous horror stories ever written. Bound to each other by
fate, the doctor and his creation engage in an obsessive, murderous
pursuit of each other from Switzerland to the North Pole. The Last
Man: In this apocalyptic fantasy set at the end of the twenty-first
century, a mysterious plague sweeps the globe, drawing ever nearer to
England. As war and disease ravage humanity, ideals of fairness and
love are quickly supplanted by the urgency of survival. Featuring
semiautobiographical characters, this dystopian tale is also a
critique of Romanticism.Mathilda: This shocking and tragic tale of a
woman haunted by her father’s incestuous love for her is thought to
be based on author Mary Shelley’s own life. Written in 1819, her
father and publisher, William Godwin, refused to print the story. It
was finally published posthumously in 1959.
