Making the Monster: The Science Behind Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

One of the best books published in 2018 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus. Thoroughly researched and incredibly readable, this book is part biography, part literary analysis and part scientific examination of the principles and theories that impacted and influenced Shelley while writing the novel. It is a fascinating and compelling exploration of the creation of one of the most important novels of the last two hundred years.
