Topics discussed in the <i class=\"\">Critical Insights<\/i>\u00a0compilation include autobiographical elements and themes in Mary Shelley&#8217;s work, the influence of <em>Frankenstein<\/em> today, and Shelley&#8217;s\u00a0relationship with her husband, Romantic poet-philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. A writer whose biographical details historically attracted as much attention as her art, Shelley has garnered an enthusiastic twenty-first century critical reception for her expanded collection of work, which includes six novels and one novella, dozens of short stories, essays, poetry, travel pieces, and children&#8217;s literature. This volume embraces both, celebrating the traditional approach to reading Shelley, while also introducing young readers to more recent interests surrounding her writing. Each essay complements the others, relating through a rich offering of theory and illustration. The result is a tapestry of readings that will interest any reader, whatever her level of previous knowledge about Shelley&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Additionally, Katherine Alexander was recently awarded the Graduate Success Scholarship for $6500.
