Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley — one title in the rankings.

Editor’s note Frankenstein (1818), written when Shelley was nineteen, is the book nearly every reader here means — and far stranger and sadder than the films. Many editions use her revised 1831 text; the 1818 original differs in places. The Last Man (1826), an early plague novel, is in her bibliography below.
