The Last Man is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826.
It is notable in part for its semi-biographical portraits of Romantic figures in Shelley\'s circle, particularly Shelley\'s late husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron..
The novel was harshly reviewed at the time, and was virtually unknown until a scholarly revival beginning in the 1960s.
The book tells of a future world that has been ravaged by a plague.
