Mary Shelleys "Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men & Women (Vol. 1-5)" is a remarkable exploration of the lives and contributions of pivotal figures in literature and science. With her characteristic Romantic style, Shelley weaves together biographical sketches that highlight the profound impact these individuals had on their respective fields. The work stands out not only for its literary merit but also for its thematic exploration of the interplay between creativity and intellect during an era marked by monumental changes in scientific thought and literary expression. Shelleys narrative is rich, engaging, and often reflective, inviting readers to consider the complexities of genius and morality in a rapidly evolving world.

Mary Shelley, autora de Frankenstein, novela que dio un nuevo impulso al género gótico, era hija del pensador radical William Godwin que también cultivó el género en dos magníficas obras: St Leon y Caleb Williams y de Mary Wollstonecraft, una de las primeras escritoras feministas, y contrajo matrimonio con el poeta romantico Percy B. Shelley. Las historias que presentamos en este volumen estan envueltas en un tumultuoso ambiente romantico y tratan de describir caracteres sometidos a la influencia de fuertes pasiones, que dan pie a sucesos sobrenaturales o extraordinarios. Tanto la exposicion de estos caracteres, constituidos por una estructura pasional anormal y deforme, como las descripciones de las situaciones extrañas y horribles que dichos caracteres provocan, colocan estos relatos en el corazon mismo de lo gotico.
