Frankenstein: How a Monster Became an Icon

by Eddy von Mueller and Sidney Perkowitz

Book Overview

The tale of a tormented creature created in a laboratory began on a rainy night in 1816 in the imagination of a nineteen-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Since its publication two years later, in 1818, Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus has spread around the globe through every possible medium and variation. "Frankenstein" has become an indelible part of popular culture, and is shorthand for anything bizarre and human-made.
