Rotterdam, Netherlands is significant to Frankenstein because it is one of the locations that Frankenstein travels through on his way to London in search of knowledge on how to create a woman companion for his monster. I found this information from Geography in Frankenstein on Frankenstein - A Creative Review. This source is an example of low barriers to entry because the blog website was created through Wordpress, which is a website that allows users to easily create their own website, and the Frankenstein blog itself allows readers to like, dislike, and comment on their articles. Mapping this location on COVE makes visible a place a “gatekeeper” platform might otherwise bury.
