I may have made some sarcastic references somewhere to Mary being called "Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley" by contemporary scholars whereas she would've been called as "Mary Godwin Shelley" in her own time. In fact, she consciously made a decision to go by MWS because she felt so incredibly alienated by her father, and wanted to reach for her heritage with her dead mother.

And now for something completely different! (including moth jokes) )
