Frontispiece illustration to 1831 edition of Frankenstein. When Mary Shelley composed Frankenstein, she was influenced by several literary classics she had read with her future husband Percy. She references these works in Frankenstein, among them Ovid's Metamorphoses and John Milton's Paradise Lost.
The science that inspired Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein is nearly as strange as the novel itself. Written in 1818, the book was influenced by a scientific feud that ushered in the first battery and our modern understanding of electricity. The story begins in the mid-18th century.
