Mary Shelley / 玛丽·雪莱
141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代 makes Shelley the central subject rather than a side figure in literary gossip. The episode reconstructs her radical family background through Mary Wollstonecraft / 玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特 and William Godwin / 威廉·戈德温, her intellectual exposure to Romantic Science Culture / 浪漫主义科学文化, her relationship with Percy Shelley / 珀西·雪莱, and the grief, travel, weather, and scientific arguments that fed 《弗兰肯斯坦》.
In that source, Shelley matters as an early science-fiction writer because she turns contemporary uncertainty into literature. Science Fiction As Contemporary Science Integration / 科幻作为当代科学整合, Galvanic Reanimation Imaginary / 伽伐尼式复活想象, Cadaver Trade And Anatomy Fear / 尸体贸易与解剖恐惧, Modern Prometheus Reading / 现代普罗米修斯读法, and Creator Responsibility Ethics / 创造者责任伦理 make the novel’s creature a scientific, social, and ethical problem at once.
Mary Shelley appears in 82.闲聊伟大作家的八卦（第二弹） through the Swiss gathering around Lord Byron / 拜伦, Percy Shelley, and 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.
68.疯狂实验史：哎！这该死的求知欲… adds the science-history side of that memory. The episode links Frankenstein / 《弗兰肯斯坦》 to galvanic and electrical experiments, especially the cultural atmosphere around frogs, animal parts, and body animation. Shelley is therefore connected not only to literary gossip but also to Scientific Public Spectacle and Experimental Science Ethics.
36.黑暗的左手：流放与爱的未来往事 invokes Shelley at the start of the Le Guin discussion as a counterexample to the idea that science fiction is naturally male, cold, or purely hard-technical. In this source, Shelley helps make women’s science-fiction history visible before the episode turns to Le Guin’s Ambisexual Worldbuilding / 双性世界建构 and anthropological method.
