Best Answer

Mary Shelley's popularity was not significantly affected by the suicide of Percy Bysshe Shelley's pregnant wife, Harriet. However, the scandal surrounding Percy's previous marriage did cause some public scrutiny and criticism towards Mary. Nonetheless, her own literary achievements, particularly "Frankenstein," contributed more to her popularity.
