Shelley started writing thestorywhen she was eighteen, and the novel was published when shewastwenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously inLondonin 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition,published inFrance in 1823.Shelley had travelled the region in which the story takesplace,and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideaswerethemes of conversation among her companions, particularlyherfuture husband Percy Bysshe Shelley. The actual storyline wastakenfrom a dream. Shelley was talking with threewriter-colleagues,Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and JohnPolidori, and theydecided they would have a competition to see whocould write thebest horror story. After thinking for weeks aboutwhat her possiblestoryline could be, Shelley dreamt about ascientist who createdlife and was horrified by what he had made.Then Frankenstein waswritten.Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothicnoveland the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one oftheearliest examples of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has arguedthatit should be considered the first true science fictionstory,because unlike in previous stories with fantasticalelementsresembling those of later science fiction, the centralcharacter"makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modernexperiments inthe laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. Thestory ispartially based on Giovanni Aldini's electrical experimentson deadand (sometimes) living animals and was also a warningagainst theexpansion of modern man in the Industrial Revolution,alluded to inits subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. It has had aconsiderableinfluence across literature and popular culture andspawned acomplete genre of horror stories and films.--------------------------THIS BOOK IS CREATED BY APPMK (http://www.appmk.com)
