This tale of a father's incestuous love for his daughter, his suicide, and the daughter's reaction isn't strictly autobiographical -- but elements of it come from Mary Shelley's life. The three main characters are clearly Mary Shelley herself, Godwin, and Percy Bysshe Shelley -- and their relations can easily be reassorted to correspond with their lives. An important and little-known tale from the author of "Frankenstein."
