Mary Shelley was born in London in 1797 and married one of England's most famous poets, Percy Bysshe Shelley, in 1816. Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus, written in 1818, is one of her very famous novels. The idea for the novel came during a holiday in Switzerland with her husband and friend Lord Byron. The three of them decided to write a horror story each, but only her story was ultimately completed. In 1826, she wrote The Last Man, a novel about the end of humanity: humanity is wiped out by a plague, leaving only one person alive.
