Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Content Bash Presents: Literature's Greatest Hits

When Mary Shelley was just 18 years old, she wrote Frankenstein. What she probably didn't know is that she would end up impacting many generations of artists for over two hundred years. The daughter of feminist icon Mary Wollstonecraft and anarchist writer William Godwin, Mary Shelley ended up being a feminist icon in her own right while creating at least three different genres of fiction with the publication of Frankenstein in 1818: horror, Gothic, and science-fiction. So true to the Gothic sensibilities she practically invented, Mary Shelley often visited her mother's gravestone (and supposedly may have even had her first romantic tryst with Percy Shelley there) and carried Percy's calcified heart with her everyone after it survived cremation.Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was a groundbreaking feminist, Gothic queen, and horror icon.
