The only child of two famous and radical writers, Mary Shelley (n?e Godwin) was born with huge expectations already upon her. She grew up surrounded by writers and intellectuals who not only praised her beauty, but made clear that great things were expected from someone with such an intellectual pedigree. Mary was soon caught up, though, in a passionate love affair with young poet Percy Shelley. They traveled through Europe together to get away from Mary's father and Percy's wife, and while visiting the notorious poet Lord Byron, a challenge to write a ghost story was made. This challenge prompted Mary to conceive of Frankenstein, a horrifying tale of a man who creates a monster by reanimating dead flesh. The novel brought Mary fame and notoriety, and changed the course of literature, creating a terrifying figure that still intrigues readers today.
