Following the success of Mary Shelley's Novels and Selected Works there was some regret that Mary Shelley's remaining writing remained unpublished. In particular, this includes her lyric poetry and her writing for Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia of Biography as well as some material that has only recently been positively attributed to her. This can now be rectified with this four volume set that is edited to the same standard as the earlier edition. Publication of this material will allow libraries to complete the canon of Mary Shelley's work at a time when her literary reputation and interest in her continues to grow.

A focused collection of literary works has emerged from a transnational project that convened acclaimed writers on the question of how dictatorships are overcome. The range of generations, European countries of origin and artistic directions represented give an edge and at the same time pose the challenge of this anthology. A considerable variety of motivations are reflected while authors put into words a contemporary biography of persecution, a descendant's feeling of personal historical responsibility, or the artistic curiosity of the "outsider." Dedicated to the imaginative power of literature and to Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe in particular, as the formerly multicultural setting of these countries suffered the most from European dictatorships and their insufficiently processed legacies. The cultural transfer exhibited here reduces prejudices and promotes new forms of understanding with Western Europe, while aiming to further a diversified but common European culture. Each piece is presented in English and in the original language.
