Mary Shelley

Autor: Cathy Bernheim

Número de Páginas: 305

Mary Shelley et Frankenstein... Quelle plus bizarre rencontre que ces deux noms unis par une postérité littéraire et cinématographique imprévisible ? À dix-huit ans, l’amie de Lord Byron, l’épouse du poète Percy B. Shelley, a écrit son chef-d’œuvre en toute innocence, ou presque. Née dans une famille d’écrivains « engagés », audacieuse, voire révolutionnaire dans ses écrits, la jeune fille timide n’a pas seulement inventé une créature infernale. Frankenstein sera salué par Walter Scott pour ses qualités d’écriture et pour son message. Car le monstre, à l’image de son époque — et de la nôtre —, est aussi la créature d’un monde où le bien n’est trop souvent que le masque grimaçant du mal. Avec son ouvrage sur Mary Shelley, Cathy Bernheim ne peint pas seulement l’existence mouvementée d’une femme blessée et aimée par la vie. Elle donne aussi le portrait d’un écrivain fulgurant, témoin des mutations d’un siècle peu à peu transformé par l’évolution générale des sciences, les révolutions naissantes de la biologie, et les mutations technologiques et industrielles. Et son regard, pour cela, nous est encore proche et...

Mary Shelley et Frankenstein : itinéraires romanesques

Autor: Alain Morvan

Número de Páginas: 331

"Mary Shelley, sensible et imaginative, pose et recompose dans ses livres et dans ses histoires les épreuves de sa propre vie." Ainsi est posé par Alain Morvan le cadre de la biographie de Mary Shelley, victime, elle et ses autres écrits, de l'immense succès de Frankenstein. L'un des buts de l'ouvrage, précise A. Morvan, est donc de compléter l'image de Mary Shelley écrivain, d'élargir la perception de son oeuvre, de voir dans le célèbre conte autre chose qu'une simple histoire d'horreur, de comprendre la personnalité de la compagne du poète Percy Bysshe Shelley. Ses parents, eux-mêmes écrivains, ont eu une influence déterminante sur la formation de Mary Shelley, étant à la fois des modèles et des rivaux, d'autant que sa mère disparaît peu après sa naissance. Mary Shelley vit pour écrire, ses écrits ne sont pas que des pures fictions.

Qui fut véritablement cette romancière, nouvelliste, dramaturge, poétesse, essayiste, biographe, qui écrivit aussi plusieurs récits de voyage ? De sa formation de romancière à ses opinions politiques, sociales, religieuses, etc. en passant par son style, Jean de Palacio dépeint Mary Shelley dans toute sa complexité.

Frankenstein / Mary Shelley

Autor: Mary Shelley

Número de Páginas: 188

More than 200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece--a classic work of horror that blurs the line between man and monster. "If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear." For centuries, the story of Victor Frankenstein and the monster he created has held readers spellbound. On the surface, it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting dread. On a more profound level, it illuminates the triumph and tragedy of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a creature tortured by the solitude of a world in which he does not belong. A novel of almost hallucinatory intensity, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination.
