Romantic outlaws : the extraordinary lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley / Charlotte Gordon. - London : Windmill Books, 2016. - 649, [1] strona : ilustracje, faksymilia, fotografie, portrety ; 20 cm.
Although mother and daughter, these two brilliant women never knew one another – Wollstonecraft died of an infection in 1797 at the age of thirty-eight, a week after giving birth.
Nevertheless their lives were so closely intertwined, their choices, dreams and tragedies so eerily similar, it seems impossible to consider one without the other.
Both women became famous writers; fell in love with brilliant but impossible men; and were single mothers who had children out of wedlock; both lived in exile; fought for their position in society; and thought deeply about how we should live.
"Romantic Outlaws" brings together a pair of visionary women who should have shared a life, but who instead shared a powerful literary and feminist legacy. This is inventive, illuminating, involving biography at its best.
