Description
The Last Man is a sombre and pessimistic vision of humanity's confrontation with inevitable destruction, set in a late twenty-first century world. Mary Shelley's apocalyptic fantasy explores the end of human civilisation, as the world succumbs to disaster. Mary Shelley's personal experiences and intellectual circle had a profound impact on her writing. The novel is infused with idealised portraits of her and her contemporaries, yet rejects Romanticism's faith in art and nature. This complex and thought-provoking work showcases Shelley's unique vision and literary skill. Published in 2004, this edition of The Last Man features an introduction and notes by Dr Pamela Bickley, providing valuable context and insight into the novel's themes and author.
