FRANKENSTEIN
In Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus," (1818) the story centers on scientist Victor Frankenstein, who creates a monster and breathes life into it.
It asked an important scientific question of the day: could the dead be brought back to life?
The monster is often erroneously called Frankenstein, but in fact had no name and was referred to as "Monster."
The first cinematic version of "Frankenstein" was a sixteen-minute silent film produced by Thomas Edison in 1910; the most famous was by Boris Karloff in 1931.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was married to the famous English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and was the daughter of famous English novelists William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft.
