Three years later, during a wet summer on Lake Geneva, Shelley famously wrote her masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e. The years of her marriage were blighted by the deaths of three of her four children, and further tragedy followed in 1822, when Percy Shelley drowned in Italy. Following his death, Mary Shelley returned to England and continued to travel and write until her own death at the age of fifty-three.\nCharlotte Gordon is a prize-winning poet and biographer. She received her undergraduate degree in English and American Literature from Harvard University and a Ph.D. from Boston University.
