This new addition to the Women Writers in English series reprints Mary Shelley's second novel, first published in 1823. Although the novel was a commercially unsuccessful follow-up to Shelley's Frankenstein, this absorbing tale of the adventures and misadventures of a Tuscan prince vividly demonstrates Shelley's mastery of political history, which was unique among women of her time. It is sure to be a major highlight of the Mary Shelley bicentenary in 1997.
