Original Note:
Misinformation, there is no proof that Mary Shelley ever quoted this. https://www.theleftberlin.com/mary-shelley/ https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780199237173.001.0001/acref-9780199237173?btog=chap&hide=true&jumpTo=Mary&page=116&pageSize=20&skipEditions=true&sort=titlesort&source=%2F10.1093%2Facref%2F9780199237173.001.0001%2Facref-9780199237173 Additionally, political language like "left-wing" and "right-wing" in the context used today developed much later than Shelley's era, making it highly unlikely she would have used these terms in this way.
