Mary Shelley / 玛丽·雪莱

Mary Shelley appears in 82.闲聊伟大作家的八卦（第二弹） through the Swiss gathering around [[LordByron|Lord Byron / 拜伦]], Percy Shelley, and [[JohnPolidori|John Polidori / 约翰·波利多里]]. The episode presents the rainy holiday’s ghost-story game as the immediate anecdotal frame for Frankenstein.

In this source, Shelley matters as a reminder that literary history can emerge from social scenes, weather, games, and mixed company rather than from isolated genius alone. The episode does not offer a close reading of Frankenstein, but it uses the origin anecdote to connect Romantic celebrity, gothic invention, and later genre memory.
