About this listen
Mathilda
By Mary Shelley
Narrated by Lillian Rachel
This controversial novella by Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein was written in 1820 but only published posthumously in 1959.
Writing to her only friend from her deathbed, Mathilda finally reveals the history that led to her isolated life of despairing melancholy. Of her mother dying in childbirth, her father's confession of his incestuous desire and subsequent suicide, and her relationship with a handsome young poet that fails to reverse Matilda's emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death. The haunting and relentlessly self-examining voice of Mary Shelley's protagonist is a bare narrative of trauma of a brave woman's failed search for love, atonement, and redemption.
