Publisher's Synopsis
Mary Shelley was a prominent English writer in the early 19th century. Shelley also promoted the work of her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was one of the greatest poets in literature. Shelley is now best known for her gothic fiction, especially the classic novel Frankenstein. Frankenstein tells the story of a young science student who conducts a very unorthodox experiment and creates a grotesque creature. This wildly popular book has been adapted into many films over the years.
