Praise

New York Times Book Review
"[An] affectionate and well-written biography....Miranda Seymour is a novelist as well as an experienced biographer....She has vivid narrative gifts and a perceptive understanding of the main personalities. Her account of Mary Shelley's writings is generally competent but pedestrian, and her view of FRANKENSTEIN inflated...." - Claude Rawson 10/07/2001

New Yorker
"[A] splendid biography...." 10/15/2001
