St. Paul’s Cathedral

 

St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, UK, Is only mentioned once before Victor and Elizabeth’s marriage in the book Frankenstein. In the late 18th and early 19th century St. Pauls was a popular place because this was where they would hold public events and national celebrations. St. Paul’s is one of London’s most iconic and most visited religious structures. A popular and historical event that happened in 1904 when the church was repainted by artist William Blake Richmond, William Blake’s best friend named his kid after him. I thought that was cool and interesting to see a connection in between authors and especially authors we have learned about in this class from the romantic period..  St. Paul’s cathedral is brought up in volume 3 chapter 1, “At length we saw the numerous steeples of London, St. Paul’s towering above all, and the Tower famed in English history.” They are pointing out the church and how tall it is. In Europe most cities are known for the churches they have and overall they have always had the most beautiful Churches nation wide. Marry Shelly had a great view of St. Paul’s she seen it as a very magical place, she described how she admired it.
