Book excerpt: These three works of fiction - two by Mary Wollstonecraft, the radical author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and one by her daughter Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein - are powerfully emotive stories that combine passion with forceful feminist argument. In Mary Wollstonecraft's Mary, the heroine flees her young husband in order to nurse her dearest friend, Ann, and finds genuine love, while Maria tells of a desperate young woman who seeks consolation in the arms of another man after the loss of her child. And Mary Shelley's Matilda - suppressed for over a century - tells the story of a woman alienated from society by the incestuous passion of her father. Humane, compassionate and highly controversial, these stories demonstrate the strongly original genius of their authors.

Book excerpt: Crítica Tres novelas románticas con la mujer como eje. Las tres novelas que Nórdica reúne en un volumen sin precedentes: la identidad femenina, vista desde una perspectiva subjetiva, pero también social e inscrita en un marco romántico. Es inevitable no leer estas novelas, sólo discretas en lo literario, sin atender a las corresponden- cias entre ellas con las vidas de sus res- pectivas autoras, dos desdichadas heroí- nas que desprenden un halo de grandeza trágica. Ignacio F. Garmendia Sinopsis Este libro reúne por primera vez tres apasionadas novelas de «la extraordinaria pareja» formada por una madre y su hija: Mary Wollstonecraft y Mary Shelley, precedidas de una valiosa introducción de Janet Todd, especialista en la obra de Mary Wollstonecraft y Jane Austen. El núcleo de las tres obras es la exploración en torno a la identidad y a la subjetividad femeninas, atrapadas en el «círculo mágico» de la feminidad convencional y de la claustrofóbica unidad familiar. Tanto Mary como Mathilda son obras pasionales e introspectivas. Maria es una novela con más conciencia social que destaca por la manera en que pasa de la experiencia inmediata de la autora a mostrar los complejos infortunios de mujeres de diferentes clases. Está considerada el texto feminista más radical de la Wollstonecraft y supone una extensión de su famosa Vindicación de los derechos de la mujer. Las dos escritoras, especialmente Mary Shelley (autora de Frankenstein), dotan a sus novelas de un marcado carácter autobiográfico. Sus páginas nos llevan a lo mejor del Romanticismo inglés: en ellas nos encontraremos con la Naturaleza, con relaciones apasionadas y con esa pulsión suicida tan propia de la época.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Mathilda by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Mathilda, or Matilda, is the second long work of fiction of Mary Shelley, written between August 1819 and February 1820. It deals with common Romantic themes of incest and suicide. The act of writing this novella distracted Mary Shelley from her grief after the deaths of her one-year-old daughter Clara at Venice in September 1818 and her three-year-old son William in June 1819 in Rome. These losses plunged Mary Shelley into a depression that distanced her emotionally and sexually from Percy Shelley and left her, as he put it, "on the hearth of pale despair". Narrating from her deathbed, Matilda tells the story of her unnamed father's confession of incestuous love for her, followed by his suicide by drowning; her relationship with a gifted young poet called Woodville fails to reverse Matilda's emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death. Commentators have often read the text as autobiographical, the three central characters standing for William Godwin, Mary Shelley, and Percy Shelley. There is no firm evidence, however, that the storyline itself is autobiographical. Analysis of Matilda's first draft, titled "The Fields of Fancy", reveals that Mary Shelley took as her starting point Mary Wollstonecraft's unfinished "The Cave of Fancy", in which a small girl's mother dies in a shipwreck. Like Mary Shelley herself, Matilda idealises her lost mother. According to editor Janet Todd, the absence of the mother from the last pages of the novella suggests that Matilda's death renders her one with her mother, enabling a union with the dead father. Critic Pamela Clemit resists a purely autobiographical reading and argues that Mathilda is an artfully crafted novella, deploying confessional and unreliable narrations in the style of her father, as well as the device of the pursuit used by Godwin in his Caleb Williams and by Mary Shelley in Frankenstein. The novella's 1959 editor, Elizabeth Nitchie, noted the novella's faults of "verbosity, loose plotting, somewhat stereotyped and extravagant characterization" but praised a "feeling for character and situation and phrasing that is often vigorous and precise". The story may be seen as a metaphor for what happens when a woman, ignorant of all consequences, follows her own heart while dependent on her male benefactor.
