Description:
Published anonymously in 1818, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a Gothic novel written at a young age by Mary Shelley. Often considered one of the earliest examples of science fiction, the story tells of gifted scientist Victor Frankenstein who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Rejected by his creator, the monster sets out to seek revenge against Frankenstein and those he holds dear. With its themes of the dangers of science, parenting, and the nature of humanity, Frankenstein has endured as one of the most influential works of English literature.
Widely popular since its publication, Frankenstein has spawned numerous film, television and theatrical adaptations. The most famous being the 1931 film Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff as the monster. These adaptations have helped spread Shelley’s cautionary tale of scientific hubris to massive mainstream audiences around the world. At its core, Frankenstein grapples with complex questions around what makes us human and whether man should imitate God in the pursuit of knowledge.
To this day, Frankenstein continues to captivate readers and be referenced across popular culture. The novel’s exploration of our relationship with rapidly advancing technology remains timely and thought-provoking. Both a Gothic horror classic and a work of science fiction ahead of its time, Frankenstein stands as one of the most important novels ever written and an enduring work that shaped an entire genre of literature.
