As relevant today as it was in the 19th century, Mary Shelley's masterpiece explores questions of morality, identity, and the unforeseen consequences of human innovation--issues that continue to resonate in our technology-driven age. Mary Shelley, daughter of famed political philosopher William Godwin and renowned writer Mary Wollstonecraft, began writing Frankenstein at the age of 18.
