File Version: 2.0
A futuristic story of tragic love and 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 art to redeem the doomed characters.
The novel was harshly reviewed at the time and was virtually unknown until a scholarly revival beginning in the 1960s. It is notable for its semi-biographical portraits of Romantic figures in Shelley's circle, particularly Shelley's late husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron.
