Mary Shelley - renowned author of Frankenstein and the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley - has often been considered solely in light of these two facts. While scholarly interest in Mary Shelley's life and work has intensified in recent years, the critical understanding of this seminal author has been marked by its constricted focus. Shelley was by no means the author of a single work produced under the influence of her husband. She had an active literary career that spanned many genres, including poetry, drama, travel writing, and essays as well as the novels and stories of science fiction for which she is best known. Johanna M. Smith, in Mary Shelley Revisited, examines the complete works of Mary Shelley. Her comprehensive study focuses on the various genres that constitute Shelley's oeuvre. This approach not only reveals the diversity and depth of Shelley's literary career but also provides an insightful inquiry into the construction of genres themselves. And rather than focusing on the autobiographical elements of Shelley's work that have been covered by earlier scholars, Smith draws out the political and feminist issues that deeply engaged Shelley during her lifetime and are interwoven throughout her texts.

The Good Nazi: The Life and Lies of Albert Speer by Dan Van Der Vat, ISBN 039565243X

In this hard-hitting biography - the first to be written free of Speer's personal influence - Dan van der Vat reveals Speer to have been a "good Nazi": a dedicated servant of the party who, as Adolf Hitler's brilliant minister of wartime production, was also its most resourceful problem solver. He was above all an opportunist, a charmer and persuader who worked the machinery of the Reich for his own gain. And, far from being a kind of German national penitent, he was, at Nuremberg, a masterly actor deceiving the world in the role of a lifetime. This book tells the story of Speer's rise to power, from his appointment by Hitler in 1933 as architect of a new Berlin to his capture by the Allies in 1945. It demonstrates how his organizational skills helped keep Germany fully armed, prolonging the war by at least a year - an achievement made possible by ruthless exploitation of slave labor. And, in the fullest and most incriminating account ever, we learn how Speer personally ordered the eviction... The Good Nazi: The Life and Lies of Albert Speer by Dan Van Der Vat, ISBN 039565243X
