Original titleFalkner: A Novel (Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, Selections. V. 7.)
Falkner is an exceptional book, and a fitting last chapter to Mary Shelley's career. Sometimes it is said that the great writers examine the world around them, and then write about what they see in it. Surely this is true of Mary Shelley -- was true of her even at age nineteen. She made order out of chaos, and found parents where there were none.
