Mary Shelley by Frankenstein


Ah, the classics! ''Great Expectations' by Dickens, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by  Twain, 'Mary Shelley' by Frankenstein, .... yeah, something a little off there!

But.... what if it wasn't? Why would Dr Frankenstein make of the story of Mary Shelley? Would this unconventional scientist view this outsider as a heroine, as a tragic figure, or would he look down on her for flouting so many of the societal conventions of the day?

I think I need to find out.  It's time to delve into the life of Mary Shelley, her husband, parents, family, her life choices, and also to learn of Dr Frankenstein.
