Frankenstein and His Women. Five Englishwomen in Search of Happiness
“Behind every great man, there stands a woman.” But why behind him? This is how it has historically turned out. Thus, the life of poet Percy Bysshe Shelley is closely intertwined with the fates of five women - and what...
is known about them? Incredibly little, even about his second wife Mary Shelley, the creator of the famous novel “Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.” And what to say about the others... His first wife Harriet and sister-in-law Fanny Imlay died quite young, while his friend Claire Clairmont lived to an old age and left diaries. In this book, they will be heard for the first time in the Russian language and will tell, among other things, about the years she spent in Russia as a governess in the first quarter of the 19th century. Five young Englishwomen dreamed of happiness - and what happened? Let's give them the word, let them tell their story themselves. And help today's women better understand themselves. Nina Agisheva
