Description:
In Switzerland in the summer of 1816, a young woman,Mary Wollstonecraft
Godwin, the mistress - later wife - of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley,
wrote an extraordinary novel about a man who created life. She called
her story Frankenstein, and with the passing years it has become the
most famous of all horror novels and the subject of numerous studies,
films and adaptations. There have, of course, been many theories as to
what inspired that chilling masterpiece, but in this book Peter Haining
advances the most fascinating theory of all: that Victor Frankenstein,
the scientist who gave life to a creature made from corpses, was
actually based on an eccentric English scientist whom Mary had seen and
heard lecture on the then mysterious and fantastic medium of
electricity. _
