Mary Shelley - Mary Shelley Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (August 30, 1797 - February 1, 1851) was an English writer who is most famously remembered as the author of Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. Biography Mary Shelley was born in London, England to Mary Wollstonecraft and the atheist William Godwin. She married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1816 after the suicide of his first wife. She began work on Frankenstein in 1816 when staying at Lord Byron's villa on Lake Geneva in Switzerland. She incorporated a number of different sources into her work, not the least being the Promethean myth from Ovid. The influence of John Milton's Paradise Lost can also be discerned within the novel. Mary edited and annotated her husband's works after his death in 1822 and.
Mary Wollstonecraft - Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft (April 27, 1759 - September 10, 1797) was the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and mother of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Her husband William Godwin was one of the most prominent atheistss of his day and a forefather of the anarchist movement. A little bit more (as cribbed from the introduction to "Letters on Sweden, Norway and Denmark") Her father—a quick-tempered and unsettled man, capable of beating wife, or child, or dog—was the son of a manufacturer who made money in Spitalfields, when Spitalfields was prosperous. Her mother was a rigorous Irishwoman. In 1778, when she was nineteen, Mary Wollstonecraft left home to take a situation as companion with a rich tradesman's widow at Bath. After two years she.
Percy Bysshe Shelley - Percy Bysshe Shelley Percy Bysshe Shelley (August 4, 1792 - July 8, 1822) was an English Romantic poet, now most famous for poems such as Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind, To a Skylark, and The Masque of Anarchy. Born into an extremely wealthy family of Sussex gentry and heir to a baronetcy, Shelley received an education at Eton College and then went to the University of Oxford (University College). His first publication was a Gothic novel, Zastrozzi (1810), in which he gave vent to his atheistic worldview through the villain Zastrozzi. In the same year, Shelley together with his sister Elizabeth published Original Poetry by Victor and Cazire. After going up to Oxford, he issued a collection of (ostensibly burlesque but actually subversive) verse, Posthumous Fragments of.
Frankenstein - Frankenstein Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus is a novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. First published on March 11, 1818 (but more often read in the revised and corrected third edition, published in 1831), it is an early example of science fiction. Some (led by Brian Aldiss) claim that it is the first science fiction novel. Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers. Plot Curious and intelligent from a young age, Victor Frankenstein leaves his beloved family in Geneva Switzerland to study science in Germany. In a moment of inspiration, Frankenstein discovers the means by which inanimate matter can be imbued with life (when the book was written, science had a very imperfect understanding of the difference between living and dead matter). With great drive and fervor, he sets about constructing a creature -- intended.
William Godwin - utilitarian and anarchist thought. He is also famous for the women in his life: he married the early feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft in 1797 and together with her had one daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, better known as Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein who married the poet Percy Shelley. Born at Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, his family on both sides were middle-class people, and it was probably only as a joke that Godwin, a stern political reformer and philosophical radical, attempted to trace his pedigree to a time before the Norman Conquest and the great earl, Godwine. Both parents (John and Anne Godwin) were strict Calvinistss. His father, a Nonconformist minister, died young, and never inspired love or much regret in his son; but in spite of wide differences of opinion, tender.

John William Polidori - from Ampleforth in 1810 to Edinburgh University, where he received his degree as a doctor of medicine on August 1, 1815 at the age of 19. In 1816 he entered Lord Byron's service as his personal physician. In 1816, Doctor Polidori accompanied Byron on a trip through Europe. In Geneva, Switzerland, the pair met with Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and their companion Clair Clairmont. One night in June, after the company had read aloud from a collection of horror tales, Byron suggested that they each write a ghost story. Mary Shelley worked on a tale that would later evolve into Frankenstein. Byron wrote (and quickly abandoned) a fragment of a story, which Polidori used later as inspiration for his own tale. Rather than use the crude,.
Horror fiction - supernatural are not horror. The horror novel has many antecedents, although the most obvious well-spring is the gothic novel form of Bram Stoker's Dracula, and, less obviously, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein. Neither of the foregoing qualify in themselves as horror novels in that their ultimate intention is more one of mood than of shock (and Ms Shelley's is also fundamentally a philosophical novel), that sudden unquantifiable moment when one's flesh writhes. Very few writers are capable of bringing this off, and many modern practitioners of the genre have resorted to progressively greater extremes of violence in order to achieve some sort of effect. Early exponents of the horror form number such luminaries as H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, who were considered to be masters of the art. Nevertheless, contemporary writers.

Corporeal Liches Ghouls Skeleton Morhg Non-Corporeal Wraith Spectre Revenant See also: fantasy bestiary In Dungeons & Dragons and similar systems, clerics can attempt to "turn" undead: to repel or banish them by the power of their faith, or by wielding a sacred artifact or relic. This is derived from the traditional notion that vampires could be repelled by the cross. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus introduced another variant on the dead that walk again, the dead brought back to 'life' by science. Any number of films have been made concerning the undead. In the Lorien Trust LARP system, the word unliving is used as a preferential synonym..
Four Quartets - [...]Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance But human beings, still submerged in time and movement, are not able to perceive it, because Time past and time future Allow but a little consciousness and consciousness is required to catch the glimpses of eternity. The third stanza is a first clear statement on what the poet sees as the way to redeem time and to give a value to our actions in time: to free oneself from worldly attachments, Desiccation of the world of sense, Evacuation of the world of fancy, Inoperancy of the world of spirit; This is a repetitive idea in Eliot's later (after The Waste Land) poems (and will appear several times in the Four Quartets), and reflects his devotion for the Church's teaching.
Dorset - otherwise mostly rural. Poole is home to Tower Park, the largest leisure complex in Europe. The conurbation, though large now, was little more than a small town on Poole quay, surrounded by heathland, in the mid 19th century. Sandbanks, a spit in Poole harbour, has the third-highest land value in the world, but was worthless a century ago. Blandford St Mary is home to the Badger brewery of Hall and Woodhouse, whilst Weymouth is acknowledged as the first ever holiday resort, used by King George III, and is still a popular seaside resort. Jutting out into the English Channel is the Isle of Portland. Dorset is famed in literature for being the native county of author and poet Thomas Hardy. Many of the places he describes in his novels in the.
