This section of the Wikia is dedicated to the scholarship that has sprung up around Mary Shelley's influence, her works, and the literary period in which she lived. Many writers, past and present, are contributing their own perspectives and opinions on these subjects in the form of published books, articles, and online archives. In a similar way, this Wikia and many of its pages are also a form of Shelley scholarship. This section may be particularly useful to academics and students interested in secondary sources on particular themes in Frankenstein, bibliographic information on Shelley and Her Circle, and adaptation or comparative literature studies.
