Reviews & endorsements
"The Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley, edited by Esther Schor, pulls together a lively and original collection of essays from a range of distinguished contributors. Perhaps the most striking thing about this volume is the impression it succeeds in giving of Mary Shelley not as some adjunct to Percy Bysshe (indeed, Susan Wolfson's impressive study of the editorial work she performed on her poet-husband's writings makes it clear the degree to which she shaped the poet's reception in the decades after his death), but as a radical and innovative thinker in her own right." Kate Flint, Studies in English Literature

"The Cambirdge Companion to Mary Shelley fulfills the admirable project of providing in one compact volume an introduction to and crticism of most of Shelley's oeuvre....this companion is an excellent introduction to such a discussion." - Staci Stone, Murray State University, South Atlantic Review
