Written by Mary Shelley in 1818, it defined a whole new genre of literature, but what was the inspiration behind her legendary story? Join our expert panel as we journey back to a time when using electricity was a novel concept, curiosity and research went hand in hand, and unorthodox scientific experimentation was the norm. Discover how the public perception of research and eminent scientists of the time influenced Shelley to unleash her Monster on the world.
