The full title of the novel by Mary Wollstonecraft
Shelley. Also, my most ambitious noding project to date. Interestingly enough, the novel bears little resemblance to the movie
Frankenstein. Shelley's monster is surprisingly
articulate and urbane, and Victor Frankenstein, his
creator (who is not a doctor) at times seems
naive and aristocratically foolish. Many scholars believe Shelley was influenced by Milton's
Paradise Lost, and the Biblical themes in what is often hailed as the first work of modern
Science Fiction are striking.
