 MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT GODWIN SHELLEY
MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT GODWIN SHELLEY (1797-1851), novelist, was born on 30 August 1797 in the Polygon, Somers Town to novelist and philosopher, William Godwin and Jacobin feminist and novelist, Mary Wollstonecraft.
Mary Godwin was to be joined by a half-brother, Charles, Jane (who would later change her name to Claire), and in 1803, William.
Mary was soon to suffer the losses of two more children, with the death of Clara in 1818 and the three-year-old William in 1819; indeed, the only child to survive was Percy Florence Shelley, born in November of that year.

 Judith Barbour, On William D. Brewer's _The Mental Anatomies of William Godwin and Mary Shelley_ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic Circles
here is no denying the dramatic interest and thematic pertinence to the fictional writings of William Godwin and Mary Shelley of the metaphor of the "mental anatomy" (Introduction 15–17 and passim), which gives the title to William D. Brewer's critical monograph, and contours its extended comparison of this father-and-daughter pair of authors.
In her youth, Mary Shelley read Godwin's work in the afterlight of Mary Wollstonecraft's death, and Godwin in old age read his own work in the reflected light of his daughter's mollifying vision.
Demonstrably, Mary Shelley in 1836 is echoing Godwin's self-analysis in 1832, his "metaphysical dissecting knife" "displaying that tendency to dive into and anatomize the human heart." Brewer quite rightly emphasizes the rhetoric of anatomy as a master light of Godwin's seeing and of Mary Shelley's reading of him.

 Mary Shelley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shelley was born in London, England, the second daughter of famed feminist, educator and writer Mary Wollstonecraft and the equally famous liberal philosopher, anarchic journalist and atheist dissenter, William Godwin.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley née Godwin (August 30, 1797– February 1, 1851) was an English novelist who is perhaps equally famous as the wife of Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and as the author of Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.
Mary consoled herself with her studies and with Percy, who would always be, despite disillusionment and tragedy, the love of her life.

 Shelley, Mary (1797-1851)
Being the daughter of the radical and still famous Mary Wollstonecraft (who died soon after her birth) and the often-nearly-forgotten philosopher William Godwin (illustrious author of "Caleb Williams") she was always surrounded by people from literary circles and finally eloped with one of them, the strange but talented Percy Bysshe Shelley.
The remains of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft were brought over from Old St. Pancras Churchyard, London and rest in the same grave.
After Shelley's death in 1822 Mary stayed for a while in Italy in the neighbourhood of Lord Byron, before returning to England in 1823.

 Mary Shelley Biography
Godwin's noble intention was to immortalize his wife, whom he considered to be a "person of eminent merit." Instead of expressing admiration, however, the public condemned Wollstonecraft as licentious, and read her attempted suicides in terms of her lack of religious convictions.
Godwin resented Mary's intense affection for her father and was jealous of the special interest visitors showed in the product of the union between the two most radical thinkers of the day.
Godwin immediately became the chief object of her affections, as he was her primary caretaker for the first three years of her life.

This marriage was the result of his correspondence with William Godwin, which had ripened into intimacy, based on community of principles, with the Godwin household.
Often he would go half frantic with delusions--as that his father and uncle were plotting to shut him up in a madhouse, and that his boy William would be snatched from him by the law.
Still, there was the sea washing their terrace, and Shelley loved the sea (there is scarcely one of his poems in which a boat does not figure, though it is usually made of moonstone); and, while Williams fancied himself as a navigator, Trelawny was really at home on the water.
