Roger Dodsworth and Lodore

Two short stories by Mary Shelley are combined in this work. Roger Dodsworth, published in 1826 presents the protagonist, revived from death. A thrilling sequence of events follows as Roger Dodsworth comes back from the dead. Ladore, published in 1835, presents the theme of familial relations. Exploring the close ties between Lord Lodore and his daughter, the work also compares the newly settled colonies of America and with England.
