Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – Warrenton
This year marks 200 years since Frankenstein was first published. Many readers were shocked that a teenage girl came up with this tale, or that her main character Victor Frankenstein discovered the secret to life, but few are surprised that Mary Shelley’s fascinating, moving tale continues to live on today. Join us with Professor and Chair of English from Webster University, Sheila Hwang, Ph.D., as she discusses the evening of June 16th, 1816 at Villa Diodati, the major themes and ideas in the original 1818 novel, social and cultural contexts and the legacy of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in literature, film, and beyond.
