Description
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. First published anonymously in 1818, it was later revised and re-published with her name in 1831. The story revolves around Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who learns how to create life and creates a being in his likeness, but larger and more powerful than average. This creation has had a profound impact on literature and popular culture, influencing the horror genre and spawning numerous adaptations. Frankenstein is often regarded as one of the first fully realised science fiction novels due to its focus on playing God by creating life from dead flesh.
