"Mathilda" is the finished draft of a short novel by Mary Shelley. Its adult theme, concerning a father's incestuous love for his daughter and its consequences, meant that the manuscript was suppressed by Shelley's own father, and not published until 1959, more than a hundred years after her death.

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.

Discover Mary Shelleys haunting short novel, Mathilda, a deeply provocative exploration of a fathers forbidden love for his daughter and the tragic consequences that follow. Suppressed by Shelleys own father and left unpublished until 1959, this powerful narrative delves into themes of obsession, despair, and the complexities of familial bonds.

Wenn die Welt gefriert, beginnt dein größter Kampf Nach einem Streit mit ihrem Vater Achim reist die achtzehnjährige Emma mit ihrem Freund aus Norddeutschland in die österreichischen Berge. Währenddessen berichten die Medien, dass der nahende Asteroid "Mathilda" nicht gestoppt werden konnte und unaufhaltsam auf die Erde zurast. Der Einschlag löst eine katastrophale Kettenreaktion aus: Teile Europas werden durch einen Tsunami sowie verheerende Erdbeben in einen apokalyptischen Zustand versetzt.

It tells the story of a young woman whose mother died in her childbirth - just as Shelly's own mother died after hers - and whose relationship with her bereaved father becomes sexually charged as he conflates her with his lost wife, while she becomes involved with a handsome poet.

On Hallowe'en night, Mathilda Honeycutt finds out she's a SuperWitch. Not the modern, hippie kind...the real, wand-wielding, pixie-dust kind. After a life devoted to retail and coffee drinks, Mathilda is thrown into the secret world of witches, werewolves, vampires, faeries, you name it, it exists! As Mathilda discovers her magic, she also discovers she's prophesied to save the world. The problem is, she'd rather spend her time on online auctions bidding on fabulous designer shoes.

The second novel from Mary Shelley, written in 1819-20 but not published in full until 1959. The story deals with common romantic themes but also incest and suicide. Narrating from her deathbed, Mathilda tells the story of her unnamed father’s confession of incestuous love for her, followed by his suicide by drowning; her relationship with a gifted young poet called Woodville fails to reverse Mathilda’s emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death.

From her deathbed, Mathilda tells the story she has carried in silence—one marked by love, loss, and a devastating truth that reshaped her life forever. Orphaned young and raised in emotional distance, she is reunited with her father only to face a revelation so profound it fractures their bond and drives him toward irreversible despair.

The earl of Huntingdon sighed quietly as he watched his teenage son, Robert, emerge out of the woods surrounding Huntingdon castle. That particular spot was special; that had been where his wife, Mathilda, had taken her son for long forest walks, where she’d told him stories, where they’d played games. But when Robert was eight years old, the games had ended, and there were no more stories. But as each day thereon passed, the earl realised why his offspring behaved in the way he did. After all, Robert of Huntingdon was Mathilda’s son. He was her legacy.

This edition of Shelley's second novel, transcribed and introduced by Deanna Koretsky, explores the work both as a complex portrayal of taboo desires and as an intergenerational story of reckoning with the horrors of racism and patriarchy. Mathilda is often understood as biographical, but this edition also highlights the issues of justice, gender, and rights. 

Mathilda Honeycutt, SuperWitch, Prophesied Savior of The World, has survived the first battle of the Supernatural War. But before she can take a breath, she's deflecting spells from angry witches in her local Target, getting visits from the Federal Witches Agency, and even though she's wearing the perfect outfit, her meeting with the US government doesn't go too well.
