Frankenstein By Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley

Born in England, 1797 Daughter of Intellectuals – William Godwin – Mary Wollstonecraft Married to Percy Shelley Percy + children died

(Famous Romantic Poets) Percy Bysshe ShelleyLord Byron

Romanticism Emphasizes emotions, nature, art, and the imagination over reason and logic Reaction to the Scientific Enlightenment The Romantics = British Poets of the late 1700s – early 1800s

Mary Shelley as a Writer Wrote Frankenstein when she was 18! Did not put her name on the novel when it was first published in 1818 People thought her husband wrote it because of the preface Wrote other poems, novels and shorts stories

Inspiration for Frankenstein The Shelleys lived in the Swiss alps Ghost stories on a rainy night w/ Percy & Lord Byron Galvinism – 1780s – Luigi Galvani – Muscle contractions through electric current

Gothic Literature Popular between 1760 and 1820 Mystery, horror, the supernatural Brooding atmosphere Wild or remote settings (castles, moors, mountainous regions)

Why is Frankenstein so good? More than a horror story; philosophical Morally complex characters Throughout the novel, Shelley presents the reader with profound questions about: – The role of science in society – Positive/destructive sides of human nature

Frankenstein: Time & Place Setting: late 1700s Switzerland, Germany and the Arctic Scientific breakthroughs at the time Entertainment similar to today’s horror
