Index
Emily Sunstein is the author of A Different Face: The Life of Mary Wollstonecraft.
Promises to be the definitive biography of Mary Shelley... Sunstein is to be praised for looking anew at so misunderstood a life. New York Times Beyond question Shelley scholars and 19th-century specialists will value this usefully annotated and carefully produced edition; it may also be that anyone would enjoy the stories themselves... and the accompanying original engravings. -- Diane Johnson Washington Post
