Detailed explanation-1: -Mary Shelley is an English novelist whose work has reached all corners of the globe. Author of Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), Shelley was the daughter of the radical philosopher William Godwin, who described her as ‘singularly bold, somewhat imperious, and active of mind’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Frankenstein is a great work, which has consistently been underrated and misinterpreted. The real author is Percy Bysshe Shelley. Romantic male friendship is a central theme.
Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, Frankenstein really was written by Mary Shelley.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1816, Mary, Percy, and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lord Byron’s suggestion of a ghost story competition to while away their Swiss holiday not only inspired Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, but also Polidori’s short prose The Vampyre (1819) which later became a source of inspiration for Bram Stoker’s seminal work, Dracula (1897).
