Many critics have recognized a close connection between the works of Godwin and Mary, but the comments are limited and general and most studies of Mary's novels use a biographical or critical approach. It has, on the contrary, been popular to attribute Mary's Frankenstein to the influence of her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Although Godwin has been viewed as a powerful influence on the works of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Shelley, little notice has been taken of his influence on the work of his daughter, Mary Shelley. The past few decades have seen a revival of interest in the social philosophy of William Godwin and a revaluation of his works.

I catch myself checking my phone first thing in the morning and last thing at night, or anxiously checking a wifi connection at a party instead of striking up conversation with somebody I don’t know. Despite the world of technology being at “our” fingertips, we can often find ourselves slaves to the machine. I’m sure I’m not alone in experiencing that moment of despair when a laptop runs out of battery, leaving its user staring at the black screen helplessly. 7/5/2023 0 Comments HollowpoxAs victims of the Hollowpox multiply, panic spreads.

Or at least if there are, it's not quite clear which is which. Here there are no heroes, no darlings of destiny struggling to save the day, and there are no villains, no dark lords of evil out to destroy the world. But to a draft-dodging Irish angel and a trailer-trash tomboy called Phreedom, it's about to become brutally clear that there's no great divine or diabolic plan at play here, just a vicious battle between the hawks of Heaven and Hell, with humanity stuck in the middle, and where the easy rhetoric of Good and Evil, Order versus Chaos just doesn't apply. It's 2017 and the end days are coming, beings that were once human gathering to fight in one last great war for control of the Vellum - the vast realm of eternity on which our world is just a scratch. |
