Like all great stories, Frankenstein has been reborn many times (Image: Alastair Muir/Rex Features)
In The Lady and Her Monsters, Roseanne Montillo explores the often macabre historical backdrop to Mary Shelley's famous tale
THE wind howled outside the house near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, where Mary Godwin, her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and others were on holiday in May 1816. Inside, the story of Frankenstein was taking shape Pandora Charms Gold 14K as the friends tried their hand at writing scary stories.
But as Roseanne Montillo says in The Lady and Her Monsters, it wasn't simply literary rivalry that spawned the tale. She makes a compelling case for other strong influences shaping this famous fable of science gone awry. In part, her literary pedigree is what attracted her husband to be. And it is no accident, Montillo says, that the Victor Frankenstein character had much in common with Genuine Pandora April Birthday Blooms Charm On Sale Percy, who was known for his love of the ghoulish and for his unruly experiments, with noxious smells often escaping from his room at University College, Oxford.
As well as the people in her life, broader changes in Georgian Pandora Clearance Charms Britain influenced Mary Shelley. Montillo delves Pandora Bracelets into the growing use of cadavers in medical education, and the trafficking in corpses stolen from fresh graves. Mary Shelley would have known about this, and of the raucous public hangings some not far from her London home. She would have known, too, that the corpses of criminals were used in dissection, and, occasionally, in attempts to reanimate the dead.
Yet in tracing these influences, Montillo never loses sight of the fact that it was Mary Shelley's imagination that sewed the pieces together and provided the vital spark that keeps the tale alive nearly two centuries on. |
