Reseña del libro "Shelley Unbound: Uncovering Frankenstein's True Creator (en Inglés)"
Frankenstein was first released in 1818 ... anonymously.The softly spoken or unspoken admission of many experts in English literature is that Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was not entirely responsible for writing Frankenstein however the credit to her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley is generally limited to 4,000-5,000 words. In Dr. de Hart's Shelley Unbound, Oxford educated researcher and scholar, Scott D. de Hart examines the overlooked educational, biographical, alchemical, political, and scientific background of Percy Shelley. The author explores Shelley's scientific avocations, his disputes against church and state, and his connection to the illegal and infamous anti-Catholic organization, the Illuminati which provides the critical background to Frankenstein, a novel which only Percy Bysshe Shelley might have pulled off - or wanted to - in his predictable anonymous fashion.Scott D. de Hart's fascinating investigation into Frankenstein and the lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Percy Shelley results in an inconvenient truth regarding what we have long believed to be a great early example of the feminist canon. This book is accessible to students of all ages, high school and college teachers, fans of horror fiction, graduate students, and also for those in the scholastic community. It is a fascinating and highly interesting read for all.Scott D. de Hart was born and raised in Southern California. Dr. de Hart studied for his doctoral degree at the University of Oxford and obtained his Ph.D. specializing in nineteenth-century English literature, theology, and legal controversies.
