Also published as The Beautiful Widow, Mary Shelley's penultimate
novel explores the web of relationships between three women, bound
together by the exacting Lord Lodore: his estranged wife Cornelia,
a woman ruled by her mother and the norms of aristocratic society;
his daughter Ethel, raised in the wilderness of Illinois and
utterly dependent on her father; and finally, the independent and
highly educated Fanny Derham, the daughter of Lodore's childhood
friend. At first glance, Lodore appears to be a "silver fork"
novel--a popular romance genre from the Regency era about life in
fashionable society--yet Shelley's take imbues the story with
subversive critiques of domesticity and masculinity. Long
considered the most Jane Austen-like of Mary Shelley's novels,
Lodore is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand this
brilliant feminist writer.
One of three Signature Select Classics chapbooks steeped in the
thrills and chills of the gothic tradition, publishing
simultaneously with chapbooks of similarly weird works by Edgar
Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft. This stunning chapbook--perfect for
fans of the mysterious and macabre--comprises Mary Shelley's
classic tale of a botched experiment in immortality, "The Mortal
Immortal," and "On Ghosts: An Essay," her appraisal of popular
ghost legends. It features elegantly designed cardstock covers with
flaps and intricate foil-stamped designs.
