"Mary Shelley the author of Frankenstein was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin and the wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Part fact and part legend the story goes that while sailing off the Italian coast Shelley steered his schooner into a gathering storm. He died with a volume of Keatss poems in his pocket. His recovered body was doused in wine and burned on the beach but his heart was retrieved from the fire after it refused to burn. Mary Shelley kept that heart in her desk drawer wrapped in silk and in the lines of Adonais her husbands elegy for Keats and his ode to"

"This is perhaps tangential but I think the "books can't teach you anything" argument comes from the accurate observation that most *modern novels* honestly can't teach you anything. Classic literature was consumed with the struggle between good and evil; it obsessed over the question of humanity and its greater purpose; it scrutinized what it means to find true happiness. It was philosophy wrapped in the glory of a very human story. George Eliot knew that. Many modern writers do not. I know some who do but they're bound by the market and feel forced to write what sells. It's time to"

"Modern publishing is definitely more accessible so I guess it can be argued that there appears to be fewer good books today because they're accompanied by so many bad ones. I don't think that's the problem though. Language was more valued at that time because of its bearing on class and because the written word was the primary form of both entertainment and sociopolitical change.

"There are many reasons to love Pride and Prejudice. But one of them should be a deep appreciation for the risk involved. Publishing was not a woman's world.
