Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Her Daughter Mary Shelley by Charlotte Gordon

4.0

An enjoyable read; despite the large number of other books on the Romantics, this one stands out. It has a few faults: the intertwined mother-daughtyer narrative leads to some confusion, and parts of the book are overly detailed. But it offers a new perspective on the lives of both women, one which is sorely needed for the masculine-centric Romantic era.
