Her other works include 'Falkner', 'Mathilda', 'Valperga' and 'The Last Man'.Shelly also edited and promoted the literary works of her husband, Romantic poet and philosopher, Percy Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin, and her mother was the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft.
