	Technolgy in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and William Gibson's Neuromancer
		Shelley's work could be viewed as the apprehension of the new-born fear in regard to technical invention and Gibson's work as the divination of the consequences of technological development and sophistication.
		Mary Shelley, unlike most of her contemporaries, recognized this danger and foresaw the perils of the newly-born technological society, inherent in scientific research and the exploitation of nature.
		Similar to the time in which Mary Shelley wrote her novel, the context in which Gibson wrote Neuromancer is that of tremendous change although we are not yet witnessing a social revolution of equivalent value to that of the British Industrial Revolution of 1780-1830.

	Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley - Biography and Works
		Shelley adopted much of her father William Godwin’s philosophical ideas and in Frankenstein her conclusion is thus: man’s obsession with perfection can ultimately end in ruin.
		Mary met her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) around the age of sixteen when he became acquainted with her atheist father and his philosophy, which he soon adopted.
		Advocates of vegetarianism and issues of social reform, the Shelley’s were matched on many levels intellectually though Mary did not embrace the idea of an open marriage or ‘true love’ ideals Percy longed for and expressed in so many of his poems.

	The Necessity of Atheism
		Shelley resembled Blake in the contrast of feeling with which he regarded the Christian religion and its founder.
		In conclusion, it may be said that Shelley's prose, if, not great in itself, is the prose of a great poet, for which reason it possesses an interest that is not likely to fail.
		This desire to be forever as we are; the reluctance to a violent and unexperienced change, which is common to all the animated and inanimate combinations of the universe, is, indeed, the secret persuasion which has given birth to the opinions of a future state.

		Shelley's cousin Tom Medwin described looking through Walker's telescopes at the rings of Saturn and through his microscope at a fly's wing, cheese mites, and "the vermicular animalculae in vinegar." Shelley was notorious as a school boy for his scientific experiments, many of which resulted in destructive explosions.
		There is eloquence in the tongueless wind and a melody in the flowing of brooks and the rustling of the reeds beside them which by their inconceivable relation to something within the soul, awaken the spirits to a dance of breathless rapture, and bring tears of mysterious tenderness to the eyes.
		Shelley's "Preface" to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein refers to the precise scientific speculations of Erasmus Darwin and "the physiological writers of Germany." His "Mont Blanc" expresses an understanding of geology and the fossil record that will not be expressed so well poetically until Tennyson.

		Shelley's relationship with Godwin had been severely damaged by his elopement with Mary and now his father-in-law by turns abused him to Mary and made demands for financial support.
		Shelley's letters to Thomas Love Peacock, a selection of which were to become part of the History of a Six Weeks' Tour, reveal the poet to be in a more boisterous mood, keen to 'play the tourist' (L, I, 475 [15 May 1816]).
		Shelley detects a 'Power' within the mountain, but does not elaborate on it and refuses to allay the suspicion that the Power could be a projection of the mind; a strong apprehension of the sublime.

		The view that Mary Shelley and Scott wanted to deliver was similar insofar as it derived from the general belief that the main purpose of historical fiction was to leave a moral legacy to successive generations.
		Mary Shelley adopted the hypothesis according to which Perkin Warbeck was the true Richard, Duke of York, the youngest son of Edward IV, who had escaped his uncle's attempt to murder him, survived his brother and become the rightful heir to the throne of England.
		Mary Shelley's appreciation of Scott appears from her habit of reading his works regularly, a practice in which she was often joined by her husband.

	Romanticism and Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind"
		Shelley does not support this idea in any particular place in the poem, but rather by the way the poem develops throughout.
		Shelley is saying here that although the Wind can be a force for evil, he wants the Wind to work through him because good can come from evil; here, a "new birth" of Imagination, Genius, and Creativity can come from death, darkness, and hardship.
		Shelley is essentially a visionary of this change; he invokes the powerful West Wind, a force he identifies with evil, his ever-changing world, and his own subconscious, to work through him to bring about the change that he so badly desires for the world, and believes could be possible.

	Romanticism On the Net 22 (May 2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Shelley's Coleridge is a paradoxical, 'unstable' figure, who is neither wholly condemned nor condoned, and whose weaknesses, serious as they are, ironically throw into relief his formidable strengths.
		Shelley follows Coleridge in stripping the devil of his high Miltonic station, reducing him to human shape, exposing his ubiquitous materialization in ordinary English life and the nexus of his influence in the privileged class, whose sophisticated protocol and gentility hide ill intent (specifically a licensed thirst for gain).
		But for Shelley he is an exception among rare exceptions ('Yet in its [London's] depth what treasures'), and this strengthens the impact of his presence (he, like, Godwin, Shelley's father-in-law, is also not included in the imagined reunion of friends at the end of the poem).

		But attention to Shelley's literature has been thwarted, as Robinson suggests, by the very critics who sought recognition for her while 'confess[ing] the inferiority of her work; or, at most, select[ing] one or two other novels, stories, or essays by which to prove that her first novel was no mere accident'.
		That I refer to Neville as a melancholic, despite Shelley's title, points to another of Shelley's stylistic devices: that is, her penchant for titular ruse, a stabilized naming of a work that is disrupted by the ensuing story.
		Certainly, Shelley's father, William Godwin, feared that readers would believe Mathilda's innocence compromised by her obsessive behavior in the wake of her father's suicide, to whom she wishes to be "wed" in the afterlife.

		It was whilst the Shelley's were cooped up with Lord Byron and friends in a cottage on the shores of Lake Geneva with a storm raging all around that Frankenstein was created.
		Shelley's exile was a time of great upheaval and growing inequality in England, such equality has only been seen in modern times in Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair's Britain.
		Shelley was able to adapt his style to the subject matter, satire, lyrical, formal ode.

	Review: Mary Shelly's Frankenstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Considered in its most basic terms, the tale is one of actions and their consequences, and of what happens when man, in his hubris, attempts to usurp the role of God.
		Surprisingly enough, although it reflects nothing written by Shelley, this scene is effective in underlining the weaknesses and strengths of both Victor Frankenstein and his creature.
		Shelley did not answer these questions, but she certainly posed them.

		In fact, Mary Shelley's novel is itself "an argument for pleasure in the confusion of boundaries and for responsibility in their construction;" as I will argue later in the paper, Victor anxiously tries to undo the confusion of boundaries he enacts by his creation of the creature.
		Shelley's creature cannot pass as being normal--people do look at him like he's "some kind of freak," and in fact attempt to beat him up.
		In Mary Shelley's novel, the only technology we encounter happens to be a reproductive one; all the other technologies we're presented with that Victor explores have been debunked, such as alchemy.

	"Mary Godwin's Remonstrance" (N Hilton, _Lexis Complexes_, ch. 4)
		Lionel Verney, Mary Shelley's self-characterization and protagonist in The Last Man, written some eight years later after Frankenstein, similarly imagines that he is "a tree rent by lightning; never will the bark close over the bared fibres--never will their quivering life, torn by the winds, receive the opiate of a moment's calm" (329).
		Shortly after the completion of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley echoes her father as she argues that the reformer William Cobbett "encourages in the multitude the worst possible human passion revenge or as he would probably give it that abominable Christian name retribution" (30 Sept. 1817, L 49).
		Mary Shelley perhaps avoids the actual name of the glacier (masculinized as "le Mer de Glace" in her journal, 25 July 1816) to emphasize a connection between the sea of ice at the heart of the story with the icy sea on which the novel opens and closes.
