Mary Shelley 
Mathilda 

Mathilda – Mary Shelley – Narrating from her deathbed, Matilda tells the story of her unnamed father’s confession of incestuous love for her, followed by his suicide by drowning; her relationship with a gifted young poet called Woodville fails to reverse Matilda’s emotional withdrawal or prevent her lonely death.
