Mary Shelley Mary Shelley was born on August 30, 1797,in London, England.
She was the daughter of a politically radical, literary couple
Her father, William Godwin, was a philosopher and writer. Her mother, Mary Wollenstonecraft Godwin, was well-known for her feminist views.
Mary never knew her mother, as she died a few days after giving birth.
Mary Shelley received no formal early education. Instead, she was taught at home by her father.
When she was seventeen, Mary eloped to France with noted poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Mary and Percy Shelley spent the summer of 1816 in Switzerland, and were neighbors to Lord Byron, a famous poet.
It was during this time that she began writing Frankenstein.<br>

In the summer of 1816, Mary, Percy and some other famous authors went to the Swiss Alps. Unseasonable rain kept them trapped inside their lodgings, where they entertained themselves by reading ghost stories. At the urging of renowned poet Lord Byron, a friend and neighbor, they set their own pens to paper, competing to see who could write the best ghost story. The young woman, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, took the prize, having composed a story creepy enough not only to take its place alongside the old German tales that she and her Alpine companions had been reading, but also to become a bestseller in her time and a Gothic classic that still resonates with readers almost two centuries later.<br>
