Synopsis "Creature. A Novel of Mary Shelley and Frankenstein"

n 1816, a nineteen-year-old single mother wrote a novel that transformed our vision of birth, bodies, and who we call "monsters." Traveling from London to Italy and into our own technological future, Creature: A Novel of Mary Shelley and Frankenstein blends historical realism and literary magic to show how a bookish, haunted girl learns to confront her monsters by bringing them to life.

In 1816, a nineteen-year-old single mother wrote a book that transformed our vision of birth, bodies, and who we call "monsters." Creature: A Novel of Mary Shelley and Frankenstein is her story. From her first spark of inspiration to widowhood at age 24, through the deaths of four of her five children and her struggles to build a writing career, Creature braids Mary Shelley''s little-known life journey with that of her most famous character: Victor Frankenstein''s half-human Creature, who shadows her in alternating chapters as conscience, criminal, and friend. Traveling from London to Italy and into our own technological future, Creature blends historical realism and literary magic to show how a bookish, haunted girl learns to confront her monsters by bringing them to life.
