Angela Wright

Angela Wright is Professor of Romantic Literature at the University of Sheffield, and a former co-President of the International Gothic Association. Her interests on Gothic and Romanticism include authors such as Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis, Mary Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Jane Austen. Her most recent book is Mary Shelley (2018). Published to coincide with the bicentenary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), Mary Shelley reappraises the 1818 and 1831 editions of Frankenstein, and considers how Mary Shelley's other novels and short stories extended the themes of Frankenstein. Forthcoming in July 2021 are the first two volumes of The Cambridge History of the Gothic, which she has co-edited with Dale Townshend. With Michael Gamer, Angela Wright is also the general co-editor of a forthcoming Cambridge edition of Ann Radcliffe.

Angela has also given lots of interviews and talks upon the Gothic, focusing in particular upon women's Gothic writing, the works of Ann Radcliffe, and last but by no means least Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
