Frankenstein (Road Classics): Or, the Modern Prometheus (Roads Classics)

Mary Shelley was born into a family of intellectuals. At the age of sev­enteen she met P.B. Shelley and they began an affair; they were married after the suicide of Shelleys first wife. The couple famously spent a summer with Byron and Polidori near Geneva, and it was here, at the age of nineteen, that she conceived the idea of Frankenstein.
