Frankenstein, is a novel written by Mary Shelley. Shelley started
writing the story when she was 18 and the novel was published when
she was 20. The first edition was published anonymously in London
in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in
France. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor
Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in
the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In
popular culture, people have tended incorrectly to refer to the
monster as "Frankenstein." Frankenstein is infused with some
elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also
a warning against the expansion of modern man in the Industrial
Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern
Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and
popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and
films. Source: http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein
