“Mary Shelly tells us, in the introduction to Frankenstein, how her imagination was fired by their animated conversations during many social evenings. Encouraged and assisted by Shelly, she wrote Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus, her story of the man of science who, with catastrophic consequences, seeks to conquer nature, rival the divinity and make new life, and who then withholds love from the life he has made. Since its anonymous publication in 1818, the novel has never been out of print. As the basis for innumerable plays (beginning in 1823) and movies (beginning in 1910), the story has become a central myth of modern Western culture.”
