Mary Shelley Mary Shelley The Romantic Age (1780-1830) was a time when writers’ ideas went from those of the Age of Reason to more imaginative ideas. These ideas were changed throughout this time for many reasons, including the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in England, and the many other things that affected the society. A great example of the use of imagination was a by called Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, a great writer of the Romantic Age. Born on August 30, 1797, Mary Shelley seemed like she was meant for greatness. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, who was a liberal thinker and radical feminist, passed away 10 days after her birth, leaving her and her half sister to be cared by her father, William Godwin. Her father married their neighbor, Mary Jane Clairmont, who was a widow and had two children of her own. Shelley began her writing when she was very young, and she was observing many other writers becoming interested in what they were doing. She was inspired to write the famous novel Frankenstein in the summer of 1819, after she met with Lord Byron and he recommended that she try writing her own ghost story.
