This is a list of works by Mary Shelley (30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851), the British novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel ''Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus'' (1818). She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Until the 1970s, Mary Shelley was known mainly for her efforts to publish Percy Shelley's works and for ''Frankenstein''. Recent scholarship has yielded a more comprehensive view of Mary Shelley’s achievements, however. Scholars have shown increasing interest in her literary output, particularly in her novels, which include the historical novels ''Valperga'' (1823) and ''Perkin Warbeck'' (1830), the apocalyptic novel ''The Last Man'' (1826), and her final two novels, ''Lodore'' (1835) and ''Falkner'' (1837). Studies of her lesser-known works such as the travel book ''Rambles in Germany and Italy'' (1844) and the biographical articles for Dionysius Lardner's ''Cabinet Cyclopaedia'' (1829–46) support the growing view that Mary Shelley remained a political radical throughout her life. Mary Shelley's works often argue that cooperation and sympathy, particularly as practised by women in the family, were the ways to reform civil society. This view was a direct challenge to the individualistic Romantic ethos promoted by Percy Shelley and Enlightenment political theories. Collections of Mary Shelley's papers are housed in The Abinger Collection and The Bodleian Shelley Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, the New York Public Library (particularly The Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle), the Huntington Library, the British Library, and in the John Murray Collection. The following list is based on W. H. Lyles's ''Mary Shelley: An Annotated Bibliography'' and ''Mary Shelley's Literary Lives and Other Writings''. It lists first editions of works authored by Mary Shelley, except where indicated. ==Journals and letters== *—. ''The Journals of Mary Shelley, 1814–44.'' Ed. Paula R.
