the very nature of knowledgeThe New Annotated FrankensteinFrankensteinFrankensteinBorn in a world of men in the midst of a political and an emerging industrial revolution, Shelley crafted a horror story that, beyond its incisive commentary on her own milieu, is widely recognized as the first work of science fiction. The daughter of a pioneering feminist and an Enlightenment philosopher, Shelley lived and wrote at the center of British Romanticism, the exuberant, young movement that rebelled against tradition and reason and "with a rebellious scream gave birth to a world of gods and monsters" (del Toro).The New Annotated H.
