Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Her Daughter Mary Shelley by Charlotte Gordon
4.0
The book is alternately tedious and fascinating, but utterly trustworthy and remarkable in its scope.
I've learned a great deal from this exhaustively researched dual biography. It's been disconcerting to realize that I've been inaccurately informed about various aspects of these women's lives and the lives of those who orbited them. I'm going to have to revise my slideshow and lecture on Britain's first family of writers while these accurate details are still fresh.
