Index



“Jennifer L. Airey writes eloquently about Shelley’s faith and her complex relationship with the various discourses around religion current in the early nineteenth century. Historically grounded and deeply informed, Religion Around Mary Shelley presents a welcome emphasis on many of Shelley’s lesser-studied works and later works, giving us a fuller picture of a writer for whom the creative process of thought and composition was deeply inflected by her rational imagination.”

—Jacqueline Labbe, author of Romantic Visualities: Landscape, Gender, and Romanticism
