Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus was written in 1818 (published anonymously a year later) by Mary Shelley after taking a trip to Switzerland with her husband, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron. Many have speculated that Percy was the true author since a couple of his works were included in the story.
Though there was an 1830s edition of the novel, I'll only be using the 1818 edition since that's what we've read in class. Additionally, there have been many edits and changes that I find non-sensical and take away from the story Shelley wanted to tell.
