Not done: I don't see a correlation between the time of her death and what she has been known for historically by researchers and scholars. —Sirdog(talk) 00:56, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Change "The last decade of her life was dogged by illness, most likely caused by the brain tumour which killed her at the age of 53." to "The last decade of her life was dogged by illness, most likely caused by the brain tumour that ultimately led to her death at the age of 53.
Why: The current version leads the reader into a garden path, making them wonder how could a person die twice? Once at the age of 53 and then again at another age, even if momentarily, it does not provide any other advantages over the edited version. Meannwhile the edited version would eliminate this garden path by adding the word "ultimately" TheCosmos999 (talk) 14:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Interesting: the Percy Shelley page intro has 3 paragraphs of literary history and then 1 paragraph of personal history. The Mary Shelley page intro has 3 paragraphs of personal history and 2 of literary history.
I think the personal history in Mary's introduction could very easily be condensed - there's a lot of detail there. Then perhaps the long literary history paragraph could be expanded out into 2 paragraphs? Kansaikiwi (talk) 08:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
