FRANKENSTEIN, or the MODERN PROMETHEUS tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. The monster eventually frees itself and wreaks havoc upon the community.Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, it has been argued for regarding it as the first true science fiction story. It has since spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays. MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT SHELLEY was an English writer who was married to poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Mary and Percy traveled about Europe for a time. The Shalleys were in Switzerland with acquaintances Jane Clairmont, Lord Byron and John Polidori.The group entertained themselves one rainy day by reading a book of ghost stories. Lord Byron suggested that they all should try their hand at writing their own horror story. It was at this time that Mary Shelley began work on what would become her most famous novel, FRANKENSTEIN.
