Mathilda: The Fields Of Fancy

Mathilda is one of Mary Shelley's long lost manuscripts, never published due to its controversial nature until many years after her death in 1959. It is most certainly among her rarest of works. Originally titled "Fields Of Fancy," the book tells the story of a young woman trapped in an incestuous relationship with her father; more disturbing still, academics have widely agreed that Shelley's characters here are composites from her real life. This is a must own for book collectors and fans of Shelley's work alike.
