Would he never overcome the fierce passion that now held pitiless dominion over him?With its shocking theme of father-daughter incest, Mary Shelley's publisher--her father, known for his own subversive books--not only refused to publish Mathilda, he refused to return her only copy of the manuscript, and the work was never published in her lifetime.

Yet despite characters clearly based on herself, her father,... Views: 40
