Mary Shelley wrote the short novel "Matilda" in 1819, but it was not published until 1959. It was initially entitled "Fields of Fancy", a story about father-daughter incest, where a female character begins to tell her story of misery to Diotima, and in the midst of that story, the story of Matilda is told. Shelley created her novel as a story of misery within another story of misery, however, in the end she chose to remove this framework, thus emphasizing the incestuous nature of the sufferings.
