Laura Natal Rodrigues at Free Literature (Images generously made available by The Internet Archive.) "Lives of the most eminent literary and scientific men of France, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Mary Shelley is a collection of biographies published in 1838–39. Part of a larger encyclopedia aimed at Britain's self-educating middle class, these volumes profile important French writers and thinkers from the 14th to 18th centuries. Shelley combines historical research with memoir and personal opinion, portraying women sympathetically while arguing for educational and social opportunities. Her work reveals extensive knowledge of history and languages, though limited research materials sometimes constrained her efforts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
