520    The master of mythological retellings strikes 
       again.‘Proserpine’ is a mythological verse drama written 
       by Mary Shelley and her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, who 
       wrote the lyrical poems. Originally written for children, 
       it is widely considered a partner piece to the Shelleys' 
       play ‘Midas’.The story is based on Ovid's tale of the 
       abduction of Proserpine by Pluto, which itself was based 
       on the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone. Mary’s 
       version is a feminist retelling and reflects the gender 
       debates of the 19th century. First published in the London
       periodical The Winter's Wreath in 1832, Proserpine is an 
       important piece of female literary fiction and fans of 
       Madeline Miller's 'Circe', Jennifer Saint's 'Ariadne' will
       enjoy this master at work.Mary Shelley (1797–1851) earned 
       her place in the pantheon of British novelists with her 
       ground-breaking Gothic novel ‘Frankenstein’ (1818). 
       Considered one of the first true works of science-fiction,
       the book became an instant bestseller. But she was far 
       from a one-hit-wonder, producing a host of other novels, 
       including 'Valperga', 'Perkin Warbeck' and 'The Last Man'.
       Most were not well received in her lifetime, though, only 
       being fully appreciated from the 1960s.She moved in a 
       circle of famed 19th-century writers and philosophers. She
       was married to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and spent 
       time with Lord Byron. Her mother was the philosopher and 
       feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft and her father was 
       the political philosopher William Godwin.Mary Shelley’s 
       work has been adapted for TV, stage and film on many 
       occasions, with Boris Karloff famously playing 
       Frankenstein’s monster on screen in 1933. Other 
       adaptations include ‘Mary Shelley's Frankenstein’ (1994) 
       starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert De Niro and ‘Viktor 
       Frankenstein’ (2015) starring Daniel Radcliffe and James 
       McAvoy. Most recently, Elle Fanning portrayed Mary in 
       Haifaa Al-Mansour’s film ‘Mary Shelley’ from 2017. [Elib]
