With Halloween fast approaching it's very appropriate that Fifth Years have begun their study of the very famous novel 'Frankenstein'!!
The novel tells the story of how a brilliant young scientist manages to create a 'monster' or new human being. However this creation sets in place a train of events that ultimately leads to tragedy.
The book has proved hugely popular around the world as being an excellent example of the Gothic genre.
What is equally fascinating is the life of its talented author Mary Shelley, who was only a teenager when she wrote what was to eventually become a best selling novel.
Below are resources to help you understand and appreciate the book and its themes. There is also a link to look at the unconventional and fascinating author Mary Shelley, and the influences behind her work.
