Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author
Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist
who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley
started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published
anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20 Her name first

Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in
Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from
Frankenstein Castle, where, two centuries before, an alchemist had engaged in
experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where
much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of
conversation for her companions, particularly for her lover and future husband
Percy B. Shelley. In 1816 Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who
could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to
write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by
what he had made.
