Detailed explanation-1: -Mary’s father, William Godwin (1756–1836), a noted political philosopher and novelist, held up Wollstonecraft as a paragon of virtue and love, praising her genius, bravery, intelligence, and originality. He even taught young Mary how to read by tracing the letters on her mother’s gravestone.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (née Godwin) met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1812 and ran off with him to France in July 1814. The couple were married in 1816 after his first wife committed suicide.
Detailed explanation-3: -Between June 1812 and March 1814, Mary lived with relatives in Scotland. It was upon her return visits to London when she met Percy Bysshe Shelley, who idolized her father, and their relationship began. Mary and Percy left England for France in June 1814 to begin a life together.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mary Shelley had a very close relationship with her father throughout her entire life. Her mother died just ten days after Mary was born, leaving William Godwin to care for newborn Mary and his step-daughter, three-year-old Fanny Imlay.
