Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is the original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition of Frankenstein as first published anonymously in 1818. This original version is much more true to the spirit of the author's original intentions than the heavily revised 1831 edition, edited by Shelley, in part, because of pressure to make the story more conservative. Many scholars prefer the 1818 text to the more common 1831 edition. Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was nineteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. Shelley had travelled in the region of Geneva, where much of the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband, Percy Shelley. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote Frankenstein.
Mary Shelley was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist, and literary pioneer best known as the author of Frankenstein, one of the most influential works in the history of science fiction and Gothic literature. A central figure of the Romantic era, Shelley combined imaginative storytelling with explorations of science, ethics, ambition, creation, and the human condition. Her novels, short fiction, travel writing, and biographies helped shape the development of speculative fiction, horror fiction, and literary fantasy. Through works that examined the consequences of scientific discovery and the boundaries of human knowledge, she established themes that continue to influence science fiction writers today. Mary Shelley remains celebrated for her contributions to classic literature, Gothic fiction, horror, science fiction, Romantic literature, and the enduring legacy of women in literary history.
