Description

Frankenstein was first released in 1818 anonymously. A year later, Mary's husband Percy Bysshe Shelley died, and another work by him, Prometheus Unbound, was published around the same time. For many years, it was believed that Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote a significant portion of Frankenstein. However, this assumption has been challenged by experts in English literature. Oxford scholar Scott D. de Hart examines the critical information about Percy Shelley's life, including his scientific interests and disputes with church and state. He also looks at his connection to the anti-Catholic organization, the Illuminati. This investigation sheds new light on Frankenstein and the lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Percy Shelley. De Hart's research results in an inconvenient truth regarding what we have long believed about Frankenstein.
