Mathilda, or Matilda, is the second long work of fiction of Mary Shelley, written between August 1819 and February 1820. Narrating from her deathbed, Mathilda, a young woman barely in her twenties, writes her story as a way of explaining her actions to her friend, Woodville. Her narration follows her lonely upbringing and climaxes at a point when her unnamed father confesses his incestuous love for her. This is then followed by his suicide by drowning and her ultimate death; her relationship with the gifted young poet, Woodville, fails to reverse Matilda's emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death.
Between 1819 and 1820, Mary Shelley wrote Matilda, her second novel following the classic Frankenstein. The story is reminiscent of Shelley's own life, if not outright autobiographical, with characters resembling herself, her husband Percy Shelley, and her father William Godwin. Matilda is an often overlooked literary gem written in the classic Romantic style with Matilda on her deathbed telling her tale full of loss, incest, and suicide.
Mathilda By Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and edited by Elizabeth Nitchie. This volume prints for the first time the full text of Mary Shelley's novelette Mathilda together with the opening pages of its rough draft, The Fields of Fancy. They are transcribed from the microfilm of the notebooks belonging to Lord Abinger which is in the library of Duke University. The text follows Mary Shelley's manuscript exactly except for the omission of mere corrections by the author, most of which are negligible; those that are significant are included and explained in the notes. Footnotes indicated by an asterisk are Mrs. Shelley's own notes. Of all the novels and stories which Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley left in manuscript, only one novelette, Mathilda, is complete. It exists in both rough draft and final copy. In this story, as in all Mary Shelley's writing, there is much that is autobiographical: it would be hard to find a more self-revealing work. For an understanding of Mary's character, especially as she saw herself, and of her attitude toward Shelley and toward Godwin in 1819, this tale is an important document. Although the main narrative, that of the father's incestuous love for his daughter, his suicide, and Mathilda's consequent withdrawal from society to a lonely heath, is not in any real sense autobiographical, many elements in it are drawn from reality. The three main characters are clearly Mary herself, Godwin, and Shelley, and their relations can easily be reassorted to correspond with actuality.
Mathilda, or Matilda, is the second long work of fiction of Mary Shelley, written between August 1819 and February 1820 and first published posthumously in 1959. It deals with common Romantic themes of incest and suicide. In Mathilda, the title character narrates from her deathbed the tragic story of her life. Having lost her mother at birth, her father leaves her in the care of a cold aunt and disappears for 16 years. He returns, only to eventually confess a shocking secret that tears both of them apart forever.
Este libro re ne por primera vez tres apasionadas novelas de la extraordinaria pareja formada por una madre y su hija: Mary Wollstonecraft y Mary Shelley, precedidas de una valiosa introducci n de Janet Todd, especialista en la obra de Mary Wollstonecraft y Jane Austen. El n cleo de las tres obras es la exploraci n en torno a la identidad y a la subjetividad femeninas, atrapadas en el c rculo m gico de la feminidad convencional y de la claustrof bica unidad familiar. Tanto Mary como Mathilda son obras pasionales e introspectivas. Maria es una novela con m s conciencia social que destaca por la manera en que pasa de la experiencia inmediata de la autora a mostrar los complejos infortunios de mujeres de diferentes clases. Est considerada el texto feminista m s radical de la Wollstonecraft y supone una extensi n de su famosa Vindicaci n de los derechos de la mujer. Las dos escritoras, especialmente Mary Shelley (autora de Frankenstein), dotan a sus novelas de un marcado car cter autobiogr fico. Sus p ginas nos llevan a lo mejor del Romanticismo ingl s: en ellas nos encontraremos con la Naturaleza, con relaciones apasionadas y con esa pulsi n suicida tan propia de la poca.

This is then followed by his suicide by drowning and her ultimate death; her relationship with the gifted young poet, Woodville, fails to reverse Matilda's emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death. The novella begins with readers becoming aware that this story is being narrated in the first person, by Mathilda, and that this narration is meant for a specific audience in answer to a question asked prior to the novella's beginning: "You have often asked me the cause of my solitary life; my tears; and above all of my impenetrable and unkind silence." Readers quickly learn that Mathilda is on her deathbed and this is the only reason she is exposing what seems to be a dark secret.
Mary Shelley's "Matilda" - suppressed for over a century - tells the story of a woman alienated from society by the incestuous passion of her father.

Die Novelle "Mathilda" war Mary Shelleys zweite literarische Arbeit nach ihrem Erstlingswerk "Frankenstein". Der brisante Inhalt (Inzest zwischen Vater und Tochter) h tte zur Zeit der Niederschrift (1819) zu einem Skandal f hren k nnen. Marys Vater William Godwin unterdr ckte eine Ver ffentlichung, um "Missverst ndnissen" vorzubeugen. Das Manuskript schlummerte in seinem Nachlass, so dass die Erstver ffentlichung erst im Jahre 1959 erfolgte. Die Geschichte einer zu engen Vater-Tochter-Beziehung wird heute keinen gesellschaftlichen Eklat mehr hervorrufen; doch als Darstellung der inneren Konflikte einer jungen Frau, die an dem Widerspruch zwischen ihren Gef hlen und den gesellschaftlichen Anspr chen zerbricht, und als Beispiel f r die Melancholie und Todessehnsucht der englischen Romantik ist sie durchaus auch heute noch lesenswert.
