when a. koszul first published a transcription of "proserpine" in 1922, he argued "that the little classical fancies which mrs. shelley never ventured to publish are quite as worthy of consideration as her more ambitious prose works". however, his "introduction" to the play speaks mostly of percy shelley and his contribution to mary shelley's works. in fact, as he explains, he decided to publish to contribute to the percy shelley centenary. since their original publication, neither "midas" nor "proserpine" has received much critical attention. critics have either paid attention only to percy shelley's poems, or have ignored the plays altogether. literary critic elizabeth nitchie writes that the plays are "distinguished only by the lyrics that [percy] shelley wrote for them", and sylvia norman contends that they "do not really call for analytical and comparative study". while "frankenstein" has remained a powerful cultural force since its publication, mary shelley's other works have rarely been reprinted and scholars have focused almost exclusively on mary shelley, author of "frankenstein", and mary shelley, wife of percy bysshe shelley. however, with the publication of works by mary poovey and anne k. mellor in the 1980s and "the other mary shelley" in 1993, more attention has been paid to mary shelley's "other" works, such as her dramas.
