Incorporating intriguing feminist elements, this absorbing novel shows Shelley as a complex and intellectually astute thinker.

A futuristic story of tragic love and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague, 'The Last Man' is Mary Shelley's most important novel after 'Frankenstein'. With intriguing portraits of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, the novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, and demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem the doomed characters.
