A futuristic story of tragic love and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague, The Last Man is Mary Shelley`s most important novel after Frankenstein. With intriguing portraits of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, the novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, and demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem the doomed characters.
