By Mary Shelley

 Lived from August 20, 1797 to February 1, 1851 (53)  Somers Town, London  Married to Percy Shelley (“Ozymandias”)(“Ozymandias”)  Was actually famous as an author while she was alive  Dealt with depression throughout much of her early life, due to her first child’s death  Part of a group of writers, who sometimes went by either the names of “The Lord Byron Club” or even “The Geneva Convention.”

 Published anonymously in 1818 (later Mary Shelley’s name is put on the second edition in 1823)  An early example of a Gothic novel, though considered primarily a part of the Romantic movement.  Follows the plight of Victor Frankenstein  Considered the first “true” science-fiction novel

 Literary and artistic movement primarily focused around emotions, originality, and beauty.  In literature, much emphasis was placed on isolation  Authors such as Samuel Coleridge (“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”), John Polidori (“The Vampyre”), Jane Austen (“Pride and Prejudice”), and Edgar Allen Poe (“The Raven”) are some of the more prominent Romantic authors.

 Marked by horror, melodrama, and a call back to the medieval.  A combination of fiction, horror, and Romanticism.  Well-known authors of gothic literature include Edgar Allen Poe (“The Cask of Amontillado”) and Bram Stoker (“Dracula”).

 Epistolary novel  Written as a series of letters from Captain Robert Walton to his sister, Margaret Seville  Often used to add greater realism, as it mimics the workings of reality  Offers multiple points of view without an omniscient narrator

Walton as narrator (Writing the letters about Victor’s story Victor as narrator (Telling his story and the story of the monster) Monster as narrator, telling its story to Victor

 Overall: North Pole  Frankenstein’s tale takes place primarily in Germany, Geneva (Switzerland), Scotland, and Ireland.

“Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould me Man? Did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me?” John Milton, Paradise Lost (X.743-5)

 Epic poem written by John Milton (and his daughters) in 1667  Follows the Fall of Lucifer, the Creation of Adam and Eve, and the eventual Fall of Mankind  Much of Frankenstein was influenced by “Paradise Lost;” names (Victor) and characters (the monster) were modeled after characters within the epic poem.  Main themes used from it in Frankenstein: dedication of parents to their children, creation of life, and abandonment.
